The Coronation of Johannes Karl I Augustus Narrated by Colin Baker

York, England — The Empire of Austenasia has today released The Ascension of Johannes Karl I Augustus, a short film depicting the coronation of Johannes Karl I on 25 July 2026 in York. The film is narrated by Colin Baker, best known for portraying the Sixth Doctor in the long-running BBC television series Doctor Who.

Filmed on location in York, The Ascension of Johannes Karl I Augustus documents the formal accession of Johannes Karl I to the Austenasian Throne following the conclusion of the Empire’s constitutional Interregnum. The film combines coverage of the ceremony with narration explaining the history, traditions, and constitutional significance of the occasion.

The ceremony took place in York on 25 July 2026, a date chosen deliberately to coincide with the anniversary of the proclamation of Constantine the Great as Roman Emperor in York in AD 306. The choice reflected Austenasia’s constitutional tradition and the symbolic importance of Roman history within the Empire’s own institutions and identity.

It is hoped that The Ascension of Johannes Karl I Augustus will introduce new audiences to Austenasia, showcasing not only its present day, but also the dedication, creativity, and commitment of the many individuals who have helped shape the project over almost two decades. It is also hoped that the film will serve as a bridge between Austenasia’s past and its future, preserving an important moment in its history while inspiring the next chapter of its development.
