Product description
Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, better known as El Cid, was a Castilian nobleman who, after being exiled, conquered and ruled Valencia. El Cid means 'the gentlemen' in a blend of Spanish and Arabic. He had two swords: Tizona and Colada. El Cid won the sword from the Count of Barcelona and gave it to one of his sons-in-law, but demanded it back when the latter treated his daughter poorly. A sword thought to be Colada is housed in the Royal Palace of Madrid.
This richly decorated version of the Colada is 102 cm long. The grip and the pommel are accented with brass, and the blade is engraved.
This sword is an Oakeshott type XVIIIc.
