King Haakon VII and Queen Maud of Norway
after their Coronations on June 22, 1906, in Trøndheim.
The first of the three 20th Century coronations in Europe occurred on June 22, 1906, when newly elected King Haakon VII of Norway and his wife Queen Maud were crowned in a Lutheran ceremony at the Nidaros Cathedral of St. Olav in Trøndheim. On the other hand, King Haakon's two successors, King Olav V and King Harald V, had just swearing-in ceremonies.
