Election of John III Sobieski

The coronation was delayed until February 1676 due to Sobieski's need to be on the front lines against the Ottomans.

Because the war required Sobieski to be present at the front, the coronation ceremony was significantly postponed. He was finally crowned John III on 2 February 1676, almost two years after his election.
