Looking at you, Anne Boleyn.
But there are still traditions that are followed.
You might be thinking, “But Charles is already king, what’s the point?”
That is a great question, and it all has to do with timing.

But what about the crown?
That’s the part that we all want to see, right?
There are all sorts of caps of maintenance for different nobility, according toHat Guide.
Legend has it that caps of maintenance were originally given to Henry VII and Henry VIII by the pope.
