“Crusader”
sword, this heirloom quality sword is a striking example
of beauty and design. The crusader cross cast within
the pommel exemplifies the heroism and Christian faith
that led Medieval knights through the Crusade wars.
Solid wood wall display plaque included.
The
Crusades created a tumultuous period when Western armies,
fired with the crusading spirit, wrestled most of the
Holy Land from the Moslems. Holding it was a different
matter, and the Crusaders never again match their initial
success. The West, still somewhat barbaric, learned
a great deal from their opponents, bringing back new
knowledge from their travels. (Some historians believe
the Crusades helped encourage a thirst for exploration
among Europeans that helped foment the discovering of
America.)
The
Templar Order was established in 1118 A.D. to ensure
the safety of the Holy Land and to protect the pilgrimage
routes. The institution reached its maximum splendour
in the 13th century. The Knights Templar considered
themselves to be Knights of God, the honour of the church
and of Christianity. Their motto was: “NON NOBIS, DOMINE,
NON NOBIS, SED TUO NOMINI DA GLORIAM.” (Not to us, God,
not to us, but to Your name give glory.”). It was a
very well-organized military force, and they were the
shock forces in the Crusades. They were the vanguard
during attacks and the rearguard during retreats. For
a century they ensured the effective governance of the
Latin kingdom of Constantinople. They did not pay taxes
or tributes, and they had properties all over Europe
and the Middle East. They obeyed only the Pope.
These
are a must for historical collectors as well as those
who appreciate a quality functional weapon comparable
to those used during medieval times.
Please note: The design on the plaque may vary.
