However, his coronation wasn’t until the 24th of June, so you’re still perfectly set up for another 500 year anniversary post then.

Robert — you are right. He acceded on April 21, but was “proclaimed” king on April 22. Thanks for the correction.

Not to be nitpicky, but I believe it was yesterday.
