Medieval Swords - King Charles the 5th Sword (Carlos V)
Charles V (1500-1558), Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain, was the first royal to be referred to as His Majesty, assigned due to the vastness of his empire, upon which it was said the sun never set. His rule was punctuated by wars with the French and Ottomans, and was enriched by the booty brought from the New World by Hernan Cortez, Bernal Diaz, and Francisco Pizarro. This Carlos V Sword features a wire wrapped handle, bronzed hand guard, pommel with a 33” stainless steel engraved blade. Blades are not full battle worthy and cannot be sharpened.
