The Colada Sword in the Epic of the Cid Campeador

The Espada 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 of Carrión. The Espada Colada is a lasso sword, in the purest Renaissance style, but original from the 11th century.

"Once defeated in this battle by the Nasco, Count Don Remont was taken under pressure. He defeated Colada, who is worth more than a thousand silver marks, and he blessed this battle by losing his beard."

Who was the Cid Campeador?

Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, known as the Cid Campeador, was a Castilian knight of the 11th century who, independently and without paying vassalage to any king, managed to conquer the Spanish Levant, establishing his capital in Valencia.

Characteristics of the Colada Sword

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. La Colada del Cid had been won in combat by the Burgos warrior from the Count of Barcelona.

History of the Colada Sword

La Colada del Cid had been won in combat by the Burgos warrior from the Count of Barcelona. The sword was returned by them after the affront committed against their 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 personal vassal, arrest Colada, win her as a good lord, from Count Remont Verenguel, the eldest of Barcilona; for that reason you gave her, may you take care of her well."

Did the Espada Colada really exist?

All the information we have is through the Cantar de Mio Cid where the sword Colada and the Tizona are named, but there is no historical treatise that can really corroborate the existence of these swords.

Other Swords of the Cid Campeador

The other famous sword that is attributed to the Cid Campeador according to the Cantar del Mio Cid is the sword Tizona, a word that comes from the Latin titio, synonymous with ember, burning log.

Replicas of the Colada Sword

The replicas of the Espada Colada that we sell are basically lasso swords, in the purest Renaissance style, but they are presumed to be originals from the time of the Cid Campeador, 11th century. Finishes, sizes and materials may vary.
