Medieval Arming Swords

Sancho IV of Castile (1258-1295), nicknamed "the Brave", proclaimed himself king of Castile and León in the Cathedral of Toledo (1284) on the death of his father King Alfonso X despite having been disinherited by disagreements with him. He died in Toledo (1295), at the age of 37, a victim of phthisis, being buried in the Chapel of Santa Cruz of the Cathedral of Toledo.

The remains of King Sancho IV were located in an archaeological exploration looking for the remains of Sancho II of Portugal (1947). Next to the corpse is a sword, with an overgilded hilt, and on the blade of the sword has engraved an inscription of which only some fragments were preserved, the blade being rusty in some parts. The sword was worthy of a Castilian monarch.

Saint George became an officer in the Roman army in the Guard of Diocletian, who ordered his death for failing to recant his Christian faith. Saint George is one of the most venerated saints in the Catholic Church and in other Churches. He is immortalized in the myth of Saint George and the Dragon and is one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. The episode of St. George and the Dragon was a legend brought back with the Crusaders and retold with the courtly appurtenances belonging to the genre of Romance.

The coat of arms and banner attributed to St George take the form of a red cross on white or silver, known as St George's Cross. St George is most commonly depicted in early icons, mosaics, wearing armour contemporary with the depiction, executed in gilding and silver colour, intended to identify him as a Roman soldier.

Edward of Woodstock (1330 –1376), called the Black Prince, was the eldest son of King Edward III and Philippa of Hainault, and the father of King Richard II of England. He was the first Duke of Cornwall, the Prince of Wales, and the Prince of Aquitaine.

He was called "Edward of Woodstock" in his early life, after his birthplace, and since the 16th century has been popularly known as the Black Prince. The "Black Prince": The origins of the name are uncertain, that it is derived from Edward's black shield, and/or his black armour or that it is derived from Edward's brutal reputation, particularly towards the French in Aquitaine. He was an exceptional military leader, and his victories over the French at the Battles of Crécy and Poitiers made him very popular during his lifetime. In 1348 he became the first Knight of the Garter, of whose order he was one of the founders.

Edward died one year before his father, becoming the first English Prince of Wales not to become King of England. The throne passed instead to his son Richard II, a minor, upon the death of Edward III.

Roldan was a historical commander of the Franks in the service of Charlemagne, and count of the March of Brittany. He was killed at the Battle of Roncesvalles by the Vascones on 15 August 778. When he was knighted at the age of 17, Roldán received the sword from Charlemagne, a sword that kept several relics and that Roldán mentions after breaking the rock in which he tried to break Durandarte. 

According to Legend, Roldán's sword is located in Lake Carucedo, where Roldán threw the sword into the water before dying to prevent it from falling into enemy hands. Another legend tells that the Leonese knight Bernardo del Carpio after defeating Roldán took the sword Durandarte with which he was later buried in Peña Longa. Carlos I, knowing the existence of the sword when disembarking in Laredo, passed the tomb of Bernardo del Carpio, and took the sword that would accompany him for much of his life.

Ferdinand III of Castile, called the Saint, was king of Castile (1217 – 1252) and of León (1230 – 1252), conquering the cities of Seville, capital of the Almohads. The corpse of King Ferdinand III the Saint was buried in the Cathedral of Seville, three days after his death.

He imposed Castilian as the official language of his kingdoms in place of Latin and tried to unify and centralize the administration of the Castilian and Leonese kingdoms. He divided the newly conquered lands among the military orders, the Church and the nobles. His son Alfonso X El Sabio, in one of his works, "Las Siete Partidas" highlighted the four values that every sword should embody: Sanity, Strength, Moderation and Justice.
