Richard The Lionheart's Sword - Silver and Black
Son of Henry II and King of England 1189-99, Richard I was known as a very powerful king, a chivalrous knight, and a fearless warrior. He was called Coeur de Lion or Richard the Lionhearted, but he is best known as the Crusader King for his involvement in the Crusades. The Lionhearted sword is a beautiful representation of the sword he carried in his quest for Jerusalem.
The massive patina handle is adorned with 2 roaring lions, a cross is embossed on the pommel. The 28" decorator blade is highly polished, with deluxe scabbard. The Lionhearted single-hand sword is typical of the cruciform-hilt style of the crusading knights of Europe in the 12th and 13th centuries. The wheel pommel and macassar ebony grip balance the blade perfectly. Richard's three famed lions are cast in metal and set across the length of the scabbard.
