  16. Ceremonial de Coronación y Unción y Exequias de los reyes de Inglaterra.

    Elaborado en el escritorio de la abadía de Westminster, este códice reproduce el ritual de coronación de los reyes de Inglaterra y los funerales regios.
    Se desconoce el motivo y momento de su llegada al reino, aunque tradicionalmente se ha vinculado al reinado de Carlos III, que tuvo embajador en **Londres**.
    Aborda rituales separados para la coronación del rey y de la reina, como fue el caso del propio Carlos III y de su esposa Leonor de Trastámara.

    Westminster, hacia 1390-1399.
    Códice manuscrito y miniado sobre vitela, en latín (24 folios), con cubiertas de pergamino sobre alma de madera.
    Hoy se conserva en el Archivo Real y General de Navarra
