A Brief History of Notre-Dame Cathedral

Napoleon and josephine were anointed with regular catholic holy oil, not the famous oil of clovis. The pope's role in the ceremony was now concluded, and he had no desire to be any part of what would come next. This was the first time in french history in which the monarch's consort had been fully included into the ceremony. In a certain sense, this was nothing more than putting down pax dame when you really get down to it.
