The Coronation Chair, also known as St Edward's Chair or King Edward's Chair, is an ancient wooden chair[a] on which British monarchs sit when they are invested with regalia and crowned at their coronations. It was commissioned in 1296 by King Edward I to contain the Stone of Scone, which he had captured from the Scots. The chair was named after Edward the Confessor and for centuries (until 1997) it was kept in his shrine at Westminster Abbey.[2]
