Colada sword of the Cid, silver color, marto

The colada sword is, along with the tizona , one of the two most famous swords of the Cid Campeador. Won in battle by the Count of Barcelona, ​​the sword (along with the tizona ) was given to his sons-in-law. According to the heroic verses of the Canción de mio Cid, after his sons-in-law beat his daughters and then abandoned them by the side of the road, the Cid asked for the return of his gifts. He then gave the sword to one of his knights, Martín Antolínez. Although its authenticity is doubted, a blade called a colada , traditionally identified with the blade of the Cid, can be seen in the Royal Palace in Madrid, complemented by a 16th-century handle. According to Sebastián de Covarrubias, colada clearly means a sword made from cast steel, a process of alloying steel without impurities. Like Tizona , Colada appears in the epic poem Canción de Mio Cid as a sword that terrifies unworthy opponents when wielded by a brave warrior. El Cid gives the sword to Martín Antolínez, who uses it in a duel against Infante Diego González. Tizona and Colada , both swords, belonged to the Castilian knight Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, who lived in the 11th century. He was known as El Cid Campeador.
