Relic of Charlemagne's Sword - King of the Franks (768–814) Length: 95 cm. Blade length: 77 cm. Brass handle length: 19 cm. King of the Franks (768–814) and emperor of an empire styled “Roman” (800–814) in memory of the former Western Roman Empire—played a pivotal role in revitalizing the art and culture of the era, a period known to history as the "Carolingian Renaissance." Although his empire did not survive much longer after his death, its core territories laid the foundations for modern Western European states: West Francia evolved into present-day France, while East Francia became the nucleus of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation and, subsequently, Germany. Furthermore, Charlemagne’s ties to the Pope and various Catholic Church leaders established a significant precedent regarding the relationship between medieval kings and the Papacy. This sword is unsharpened and intended solely for decorative purposes. However, it must not be used in locations or circumstances that could compromise public safety, order, or peace.
