Sword of the Catholic King AC0600 By Marto of Spain

In the Throne Hall of the Royal Palace in Barcelona, Columbus was named "Admiral of the Ocean" and "Viceroy of the Indies". This ceremonial sword was used as symbol of the royal power in all religious and political ceremonies, as the conquest of Grenada and the beginning of Spain as a nation. Tanto Monta, Monta Tanto" was the motto that appeared on the Spanish Royal Standard of the Catholic Kings from 1492-1506. It refers to both Catholic monarchs: Isabella and Ferdinand and loosely translates to: "As much as the one is worth, so much is the other." This meant that both King and Queen held equal authority. It was seen on the Spanish flags that Cristóbal Colón brought to the New World. Later the motto was changed to "Plus Ultra" which is Latin for "More Beyond" referring to Spain and her lands in the Americas. The phrase "Memento mei, Mater Dei mei" (Remember me, Mother of my God) is emblazoned across this crossguard of the sword of Catholic Kings.

Marto has been a leader in quality for nearly 50 years, and as many collectors know, the attention to the exquisite detailing as exemplified in this museum quality Limited Edition Catholic Kings Sword Sword has established Marto as skilled artisans and the finest decorative swords makers in the world today.
