Product information "Sancho IV Sword"
Sancho IV of Castile (1258 – 1295) called "el Bravo", was the King of Castile, León and Galicia. He took control of the kingdom when his father Alfonso X died in 1284. This was all against the wishes of their father, but Sancho was crowned in Toledo nevertheless. Just before succumbing to a fatal illness, he appointed his wife, María de Molina, to act as regent for his nine-year-old son, Ferdinand IV. He died in 1295 in Toledo.

At his death, the body of Sancho IV was buried in the Cathedral of Toledo, thus fulfilling the will of the monarch.

In 1947 the remains of the mummified king were found, in good condition, the sovereign carrying a Franciscan habit attached with a Franciscan cord. The sovereign, who in life had to exceed two meters tall, wore a crown of silver gilt adorned with Roman cameos and sapphires. Next to the corpse a sword, with an overgrown handle, and on the blade of the sword an inscription was engraved, of which only a few fragments were preserved, were engraved.
