Charles I of Spain and V of the Holy Roman Empire, called "Caesar", is elected Holy Roman Emperor on the death of his grandfather Maximilian in 1519. Charles I of Spain and V of Germany was known in his time as "THE Emperor" since no king ever managed to gather under his command such an immense empire. 

He retired to the Monastery of Yuste where he remained a year and a half in retreat, away from the cities and political life, and accompanied by the order of the Jerónimos who spiritually guided the monarch until his last days. On 21 September 1558 he died of malaria. The coffin of Carlos I is located in the Royal Crypt of the Monastery of El Escorial known as the Pantheon of the Kings.

The Claymore (from the Scottish Gaelic claidheamh-mòr, meaning “great sword”) is a Scottish variant of the late medieval 2 handed sword. It differed from other longswords of the period in that it usually had forward sloping quillons terminating in quatrefoils. Claymores were in use during constant clan warfare and fights with the English from the 15^th to 17^th century. Claymores did exist as early as the Wars of Scottish Independence although they were smaller and few had the characteristic quatrefoil design. The last time that claymores were seen on the battlefield in any significant number was the Battle of Killiecrankie in 1689.

Our Two Handed Scottish Claymore has a hand-forged high carbon steel blade topped with solid steel hilt fittings and a stained real wood grip. This sword has a blunt blade and is designed for display only.

The claymore (from Gaelic claideamh-mor, great sword) was a Celtic two-handed sword that was usually 150 cm or longer. This length made it very difficult for opponents to approach. The claymore often had a long, leather-covered ricasso, so that the warrior could place both hands on the blade when his enemy came close. The earliest claymores were used in the 16th century, the latest in the 18th century.

The 15^th Century Ring Hilt Longsword differs from other longswords of the period in that it features “side rings” on either side of the guard. These rings provided greater protection to the hands without adding much weight to the sword. Over time, the addition of greater hand protection led more complex hit designs such as those seen on swept and basket hilt swords.

This longsword has a hand forged high carbon fullered steel blade (not tempered) with a triple fullered ricasso.  The bottom half of the grip is wrapped in black leather. The top half is wire-bound for a more decorative finish and greater purchase. This sword comes complete with a well-made wooden scabbard wrapped in black leather with steel fittings and belt rings. This item has a blunt blade and is manufactured for display only.
