Product description
Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, better known as El Cid, was a Castilian nobleman who conquered and controlled Valencia following his exile. El Cid means 'the lord' in a mixture of Spanish and Arabic. He possessed two swords: Tizona and Colada.
El Cid won Colada from the Count of Barcelona and presented it to one of his sons-in-law, though it was reclaimed when he mistreated his daughter. A sword believed to be Colada is now exhibited at the Royal Palace of Madrid.
This replica of the Colada has a length of 103 cm and weighs 1.1 kg. The sword is an Oakeshott type XVIIIc.
