Dialog
Archbishop of Cologne
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti, I place upon thee this crown, symbol of thy sacred duty to God and Empire.
Maximilian I
By the grace of Almighty God and the will of the Electors, I accept this burden with humility and resolve.

Archbishop of Cologne
May Jupiter Optimus Maximus guide thy hand, and may the saints bear witness to this sacred covenant between ruler and realm.

As Charlemagne received his mandate from this very altar, so shall I uphold the honor of Rome renewed.

Let all here present bear witness - this crown comes not from ambition, but from divine providence and the will of our people.
