Item description from the seller
The COLADA is one of the two swords, along with the Tizona, that legendary tradition attributes to the Cid, until he gave them to his sons-in-law, the Infantes de Carrión. The sword had been won in combat by the Burgos warrior from the Count of Barcelona and, although it was given, along with Tizona, to his sons-in-law the Infantes, it was returned by them after the affront committed against his daughters Doña Elvira and Doña Sol in the town of Corpes and which gave rise to the name of the affront narrated in the song of Mío Cid.
After the incident El Cid had been disgraced and asked the king for justice. The trial culminates with the "riepto" or duel in which the representatives of the Cid's cause defeat the infants. These are disgraced in a public fair and their weddings are annulled, also returning the swords. Colada being given again by the Cid to his knight Martín Antolínez.
“Martín Antolínez, my royal vassal, arrest Colada, win her as a good lord.”
The name, according to Sebastián de Covarrubias, may owe its etymology to - Cast Steel -, or what is the same, clean and free of impurities. Like the Tizona, in the Song of Mio Cid, the sword terrifies unworthy opponents if it is wielded by a brave warrior.
Historians also doubt that the one kept in the Royal Palace of Madrid and displayed as the royal Colada sword is in fact the authentic one.
