The Stone of Destiny’s ancient, ‘iconic’ role in King Charles’ coronation
“It’s a really iconic object,” Rachel Pickering, a historian and advisor for Historic Environment Scotland, told Global News.
Yet Pickering says it’s widely accepted that “the stone is from Scotland, and more specifically that it comes from the locality of Scone.”A sword embedded in stone in front of a 19th-century Presbyterian mortuary chapel on Moot Hill at Scone Palace in Perth, Scotland, United Kingdom, Monday, Feb. 10, 2020. Scone Palace is a Category A listed historic house and 5 star tourism attraction near the village of Scone and the city of Perth, Scotland.
That was until 1296, when King Edward I of England seized the stone from Scotland during the First Scottish War of Independence, along with the royal regalia of John Balliol, King of Scots. There is some doubt over whether the stone Edward brought back from England is the true Stone of Scone. Some legends say the monks of Scone Palace hid the real stone during the war and replaced it with a decoy taken from the grounds of the castle.
