A '''Coronel''' is the spreading head of a [[lance]] used in [[tilting]]. Its shape resembles that of a [[crown]] or [[coronet]] which is probably the source of the name. It may be used erroneously in some places as an alternate term for [[Coronet|coronet.]] |

A '''coronel''' is an item of [[regalia]] in a [[Barony]]. |
|||
A [[crown]] is worn by a [[King]] or [[Queen]]. |
|||
A [[coronet]] is worn by a [[Prince]] or [[Princess]]. |
|||
A '''coronel''' is worn by a [[Baron]] or [[Baroness]]. |
|||
Note however that there seems to be no historical justification for the use of the word coronel, which is an obsolete term from [[jousting]], in this context. The [[Lochac]] ceremonies use the preferred term of coronet. Coronel may be [[twee|a little too twee]] for some people's tastes. |
