Medieval Arming Swords

Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba was a Spanish general who fought in the Conquest of Granada and the Italian Wars. He reorganized the emerging Spanish army and its tactics, and was regarded as the "father of trench warfare".  He was also called "The Great Captain".

Córdoba was a pioneer of modern warfare. As a field commander, like Napoleon three centuries later, his goal was the destruction of the enemy army. Córdoba systematically pursued defeated armies after a victory to minimize future resistance. He helped found the first modern standing army (the nearly-invincible Spanish infantry which dominated European battlefields for most of the 16th and 17th centuries).

Charles I of Spain and V of the Holy Roman Empire, called "Caesar", is elected Holy Roman Emperor on the death of his grandfather Maximilian in 1519. Charles I of Spain and V of Germany was known in his time as "THE Emperor" since no king ever managed to gather under his command such an immense empire. 

He retired to the Monastery of Yuste where he remained a year and a half in retreat, away from the cities and political life, and accompanied by the order of the Jerónimos who spiritually guided the monarch until his last days. On 21 September 1558 he died of malaria. The coffin of Carlos I is located in the Royal Crypt of the Monastery of El Escorial known as the Pantheon of the Kings.

The Tizona is one of the two swords, along with the Casting , the legendary tradition attributed to the Cid, until it gave to his sons-in-law the Infantes of Carrión. The sword had been won in combat by the warrior Catalan Count of Barcelona and, despite the fact that it was given, along with Tizona, your sons-in-law the Infantes, the same was returned by them after the outrage committed on his daughters doña Elvira and Doña Sol in the town of Corpes, and that gave rise to the name of the reproach that tells the cantar de mio Cid.

After the incident, The Cid had been disgraced and calls for justice to the king. The trial culminates with the "riepto" or duel in which the representatives of the cause of the Cid are due to the infants.
