Reviewer 2 Report

The text is a review of historiography on the subject of coronation ceremonies of the Kings of Portugal (12th-14th centuries). The author clearly states the state of arts and the objectives of his paper. The novelty of the article is the incorporation of the iconographic approach to enrich the scarce knowledge that written sources provide about coronation ceremonies in this period in Portugal.

Reviewer 3 Report

The paper deals with highly interesting topic and it is very important that in this way some of the most interesting points of Portuguese medieval history are disponible to everyone.

Because of that I could suggest just some clarifications. I think it will be very interesting to have a historical introduction on the events that brought to first coronations. Besides that, it would be of highest interest to make paralells with primary sources and their data on coronations and to make compariosons with iconography. It seems that there is too much historiography and too little primary sources, and I think it would be much more to provide also data by the primary sources in order o clarify the coronation itself. The author gave an extensive insight into the Portuguese historiography, which is very valuable for wider audience. What could also be useful is a brief insight on the Portuguese medieval heraldry and visual representations, just to help the reader.

After these minor changes, and some additions, I fully recommend publishing this interesting paper.
