Coronation processes for King James the second, written in or soon after 1685
'Processus factus ad coronationem ... Jacobi secundi Regis Angliæ ...', Apr. 23, 1685, embodying all the petitions for the privilege of service at the coronation (in French), but not the religious service. The Oxford claim is at p. 23. Douce has supplied indexes of places, persons, and claims, with other notes. The name of J. Byrom is on p. 1, and he may have been the copyist of the book.
