Coronation Day (Isselmere-Nieland)
Coronation Day commemorates the personal union of the ancient Kingdom of Anguist with that of Isselmere through annexation by social decapitation by Forthar I on 19 May 985 to form the Kingdom of Isselmere and Anguist in a manner resembling Cinaed mac Alpin's apocryphal treason against the Picts. Unlike what transpired in what became Scotland, the murders occurred in Isselmere albeit without the concomitant result of eliminating either the Anguistian language or culture.
Tradition
In Isselmere, and some parts of Anguist, tradition requires that celebrants pour a shot of red wine into their pints of beer in mock celebration of the event. This ritual dates back to at least the fourteenth-century, for there is historical record of Alfred I toasting his royal council with the mixture on the day in question in 1351.
