This is one of two swords that belonged to the Spanish knight, Rodrigo Díaz de Vívar, El Cid, Campeador de Castilla.

 

By the summer of 2007, the Spanish military museum in Madrid was scheduled to relocate this sword to a new military museum located inside the Alcázar de Toledo. Now it is being transferred to a permanent location inside the Cathedral of Burgos and near the tombs of El Cid and Doña Jimena.
