Sword of Richard the Lionheart with leather hilt and gold decorations 753

Sword of Richard the Lionheart made in Toledo.
With 83 cm blade made of engraved stainless steel.

Richard the Lionheart, the second Plantagenet king of England, will be remembered as a glorious crusader and knight-errant, captured by the Emperor of Austria on his return from the holy land and rescued by the young troubadour Blondel.

Richard received the title of Lionheart at the beginning of the Third Crusade, being compared to Philip of France as a lamb and Richard as a Lion. He convinced his officers in Winchester around the Round Table, to belong to the legend of King Arthur and to possess the magical sword “Excalibur”.

Richard was a generous knight and a shrewd politician, but, above all, a great soldier. His own personal prowess in battle was an inspiration to his men.
