The Tizona Sword of El Cid is a decorator sword that offers superior finish and quality design. The 33 inch blade is fabricated in stainless steel, with a bronzed finished hilt, providing a very attractive presentation. The overall length of the Tizona Sword of El Cid is 40 inches.

Tizona is the sword carried by El Cid which was used to fight the Moors in Spain. It is now one of Spain’s most cherished relics.

El Cid was a Spanish soldier and national hero, whose real name was Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar. Under Ferdinand I and Sancho II of Castile, he distinguished himself while fighting against the Moors, but Alfonso VI distrusted him and banished (1081) him from Castile. Entering the service of the Moorish ruler of Zaragoza (a course not unusual among Castilian nobles of his time, in accord with the rights of a free lord in feudal society), he fought against Moors and Christians alike. In 1094, he conquered the kingdom of Valencia, which he ruled until his death. His widow Jimena surrendered the kingdom to the Almoravids in 1102. El Cid's exploits have been much romanticized.
