After the Vespers, the rituals of spectacular regality staged by theNormans were revived by Peter the Great of Aragon and Costanza of Swabia, and by their children, and scrupulously respected, especially after the arrival in Palermo of the Queen, whom the Sicilians, according to Ramon Montaner, considered their dona natural. Costanza’s entrance into Palermo followed a script plainly based upon models inherited from the Norman, and from the Swabian monarchies. Costanza, with the infants Giacomo and Federico, arrived by sea, disembarked at the port of San Giorgio, made the sign of the cross, kissed the ground, made her way to the nearest church to give thanks, and immediately there took shape the cavalcade that led them through the streets of Palermo, accompanied by the jubilant crowd, as far as the Cathedral, which the Queen entered, in order to pray on her own, and then up to the Palace. A few days later, under the direction of Giovanni da Procida and Corrado Lancia, repositories of the traditions of the Sicilian court, a performance of Swabian legitimism once again unfolded. The stage was indeed the Sala Verde, the aula regia, where thrones had been set out for the Queen, the infants and the court dignitaries, whereas for the others carpets were laid out on the ground: here the representatives of all the Sicilian cities would assemble; here, just as the logotheta used to speak on behalf of the Norman Kings, and Pietro della Vigna on behalf of the Emperor, so too Giovanni da Procida spoke for the Queen; here, following the prescribed ritual for the opening of royal letters, a letter written by Peter the Great was read out, and here the Sicilians accepted as their sovereigns Costanza and Peter, and their descendants. The city had a twofold part to play in this ceremony. As the seat of regality, and guardian of its traditions and values, Palermo served as guarantor of the legitimacy of Peter of Aragon and of his children. On the other hand, as the city that had used unprecedented violence in driving out the French, and that had paved the way for the change which had brought the new sovereigns on to the throne, it imposed its own new and altered status upon the sovereigns and the various constituent parts of the Kingdom. Thirteen years later, after the Treaty of Anagni, and the refusal of the Sicilians to accept it, the Green Hall served as the backdrop to what we may regard as the final scene played by the Sicilian monarchy on the Palermitan stage, namely, the coronation of Frederick of Aragon, the thirdborn child of Peter the Great. Just as at the coronation of his ancestors, the grandees of the kingdom, the representatives of all the townships arrived in Palermo, which was ablaze with lights and rang with music and song. The streets were strewn with myrtle; banquets and tournaments delighted the city for days on end. Before the coronation Ruggero di Lauria spoke on behalf of the King, and after it Frederick rode through the city, with the crown on his head and the globe and sceptre in his hand, wearing the royal garments. But between Roger II and Frederick III , between the splendid and exotic Palermo of 1130 and the Palermo that cried “mora, mora!”, much had changed. Once he had returned to the Sala Verde, Frederick spoke directly to his subjects, without employing a dignitary as an intermediary, as Sicilian regal tradition dictated. The King was no longer a quasi-divine being, before whom one had to prostrate oneself, but Palermo was no longer simply a stage either. Palermo was now a city that wished to impose itself as protagonist, while still remaining the capital.
