==Examples (Historical Parallels, not a formal "Coronation Corps"):== * <b>Holy Roman Empire:</b> The Holy Roman Emperor, particularly in the High Middle Ages, was elected and then crowned (often by the Pope). Upon his coronation, various dukes, counts, and other princes within the empire would reaffirm their fealty. While these regional rulers often had hereditary rights to their lands, their relationship with the Emperor was crucial. * <b>Feudal Kingdoms of Europe:</b> In many medieval European kingdoms, the coronation of the king was followed by oaths of homage from his great magnates (dukes, counts, etc.), who held lands as his vassals. Their own regional authority was derived from, or at least confirmed by, their relationship with the king. * <b>Imperial China:</b> The ascension of a new emperor in China often involved elaborate ceremonies and pronouncements that, in theory, extended his authority over all "under Heaven," including tributary states and regional governors. While these regions might retain significant autonomy, their rulers would typically send envoys and acknowledge the new emperor's reign. In summary, while there isn't a single, universally named "Coronation Corps" that perfectly matches your description, the concept aligns with the historical realities of hierarchical political systems where the formal investiture of a supreme monarch naturally led to a reaffirmation, or sometimes even a re-establishment, of the authority of subordinate regional rulers within their spheres of autonomy. The key was the re-establishment of the chain of legitimacy and loyalty.
