Sažetak
This article analyses a description of the funerary ceremonies of Charles I of Hungary held on the days following his death on 16th July 1342. The description is contemporary to the events although it is only known through Hungarian chronicles of the 15th century. It is a document of great importance for the study of medieval rituals. The king’s face was left bare for all the duration of the funeral. His cadaver was dressed up with a scarlet cloak, crowned in gold and buried in a marble tomb next to the remains of saint-kings Stephen and Emeric in the same church where he was crowned in 1310. Funerary rites emphasized the dead’s kingship in a solemn display stressing his chivalry virtues and the legitimation of his succession.
