Sword of the emperor Charles the Great

• Grip parts have bronze finish. 
• The sword blade is of hardened stainless steel.

Charlemagne‘s empire was based on the fighting strength of the Franks, a confederation of barbarian tribes from the land of the Rhine in Germany. They fulfilled the emptiness of power after the fall of the Roman Empire. Their insatiable ambition, sometimes increased due to the goal of extending Christendom, led them to France, Germany, Italy and many other territories.

An aggressive conqueror, wise politician, statesman and fortunate General, Charlemagne set the shape of the vast empire that, in different ways, has reached the XX century.
