In City of Stone we see Macbeth crowned while kneeling on a stone. This stone is known as the Stone of Destiny. The Stone of Destiny was a stone on which the ancient Kings of Scotland had always been crowned. In 1296, Edward I humiliated Scotland by removing the Stone of Destiny from Scone (where the kings had been crowned). He placed the Stone in Westminster Abbey, London, where it resided until November 15th, 1996. The Stone of Destiny, or as it is sometimes called the Stone of Scone , is a block of sandstone which measures 26 inches long, 16 inches wide, 11 inches high and weighs 336 lbs or 152 kg Mar 16 03, 3:37 PM

Cowgirl, it was only when Elizabeth 1 died and James became King James the first of England and sixth of Scotland that all british monarchs were crowned in Westminster Abbey, up until then it was a privilege only for those who were either King or Queen of England. Mar 16 03, 6:12 PM
