Up for sale is a beautiful brand new full size two hand medieval sword inspired by knights templar. Knights Templar, or the Order of the Temple, were among the most famous of the Western Christian military orders. The organization existed for approximately two centuries in the Middle Ages. The Templars' existence was tied closely to the Crusades; when the Holy Land was lost, support for the Order faded. Rumors about the Templars' secret initiation ceremony created mistrust, and King Philip IV of France, deeply in debt to the Order, took advantage of the situation. In 1307, many of the Order's members in France were arrested, tortured into giving false confessions, and then burned at the stake. Under pressure from King Philip, Pope Clement V disbanded the Order in 1312. The abrupt disappearance of a major part of the European infrastructure gave rise to speculation and legends to the Order. Many believe that the Order still exists today, but under a different name, and protecting powerful secrets such as the Holy Grail. This sword is forged with careful details to symbols, seals and artistry of the Knights Templar. The blade is constructed with 440 stainless steel. On both sides of the of the swords are Templar scroll word with the cross of Jerusalem. The blade is unsharpened.
