The COLADA is one of the two swords, together with the Tizona, that legendary tradition attributes to the Cid, until he gave them to his sons-in-law, the Infantes de Carrión. The sword had been won in combat by the Burgos warrior from the Count of Barcelona and, although it was given, together with the Tizona, to his sons-in-law the Infantes, it was returned by them after the affront committed against their daughters, Doña Elvira and Doña Sol in the town of Corpes and which gave rise to the name of the affront narrated by the song of Mío Cid.

After the incident, El Cid had been disgraced and asked the king for justice. The trial culminates with the "riepto" or duel in which the representatives of the cause of the Cid defeat the infants. These are dishonored in a public joust and their weddings are annulled, also returning the swords. Colada being given again by the Cid to his knight Martín Antolínez. Historians also doubt that the one kept in the Royal Palace of Madrid and shown as the royal Colada sword is indeed the authentic one.

Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba was a Spanish general who fought in the Conquest of Granada and the Italian Wars. He reorganized the emerging Spanish army and its tactics, and was regarded as the "father of trench warfare". He was also called "The Great Captain".

Córdoba was a pioneer of modern warfare. As a field commander, like Napoleon three centuries later, his goal was the destruction of the enemy army. Córdoba systematically pursued defeated armies after a victory to minimize future resistance. He helped found the first modern standing army (the nearly-invincible Spanish infantry which dominated European battlefields for most of the 16th and 17th centuries).

Edward of Woodstock (1330 –1376), called the Black Prince, was the eldest son of King Edward III and Philippa of Hainault, and the father of King Richard II of England. He was the first Duke of Cornwall, the Prince of Wales, and the Prince of Aquitaine.

He was called "Edward of Woodstock" in his early life, after his birthplace, and since the 16th century has been popularly known as the Black Prince. The "Black Prince": The origins of the name are uncertain, that it is derived from Edward's black shield, and/or his black armour or that it is derived from Edward's brutal reputation, particularly towards the French in Aquitaine. He was an exceptional military leader, and his victories over the French at the Battles of Crécy and Poitiers made him very popular during his lifetime. In 1348 he became the first Knight of the Garter, of whose order he was one of the founders.

Edward died one year before his father, becoming the first English Prince of Wales not to become King of England. The throne passed instead to his son Richard II, a minor, upon the death of Edward III.

This stylized cutlass of our production shows all these characteristics, remembering that Toledo was an important center of sword production also during its Arab period.
