			===Anointing===

			Anointing involves having some part of the king's body being touched by a finger or piece of cloth which has been dipped in holy oil. It was originally a Hebrew practice. It was adopted by [[Pippin the Short]] as a symbol of the papal, and therefore divine, blessing of his reign.

			===Raising upon a shield===

			Being raised on a shield is a symbol originated with tribal chiefs. It symbolises that the leader is a first among equals, and whose rule is dependant on those who support him. It was used by the [[Frank]]s in the coronation of [[Clovis]], and may also have been used as late as that of [[Pippin the Short]].
