Product Description

Sancho IV of Castile (1258-1295), nicknamed "the Brave", proclaimed himself king of Castile and León in the Cathedral of Toledo (1284) on the death of his father King Alfonso X despite having been disinherited by disagreements with him. He died in Toledo (1295), at the age of 37, a victim of phthisis, being buried in the Chapel of Santa Cruz of the Cathedral of Toledo.

The remains of King Sancho IV were located in an archaeological exploration looking for the remains of Sancho II of Portugal (1947). Next to the corpse is a sword, with an overgilded hilt, and on the blade of the sword has engraved an inscription of which only some fragments were preserved, the blade being rusty in some parts. The sword was worthy of a Castilian monarch.
