Abstract
The article proposes the Russian translation with commentary of the Order for the state royal funeral in England. Willliam Say published the Liber Regie Capelle for the Chapel Royal at the fifteenth century. The Liber Regie Capelle includes transcription of the text "De Exequiis Regalibus". The analysis of the royal funeral ceremony in England of the sixteenth century demonstrate that royal circle includes ceremonies with public elements of the royal authorities and personal aspects of the monarch’s life.
