Colada is one of the two best-known swords, along with Tizona, of El Cid Campeador. Won in combat from the Count of Barcelona, the sword was presented (along with Tizona) to his sons in law. According to the heroic verses of the Cantar de mio Cid, after his sons-in-law beat his daughters and then abandoned them on the side of the road, El Cid asked for his gifts to be returned. Afterward, he bestowed the sword upon one of his knights, Martín Antolínez. 〔''Cantar de Mio Cid'' (edition of Alberto Montaner). Barcelona: Crítica, 1993, page 288.〕 Though its authenticity is doubted, a blade named ''Colada'' and traditionally identified with that of El Cid, with the addition of a 16th-century hilt, is preserved in the Royal Palace of Madrid. According to Sebastián de Covarrubias,〔Sebastián de Covarrubias. ''Tesoro de la lengua castellana o española'', 1611.〕 ''Colada'' clearly means a sword made from "acero ''colado''", a process of alloyed steel without impurities. As with Tizona, Colada appears in the epic poem Cantar de mio Cid as a sword that frightens unworthy opponents if wielded by a brave warrior. El Cid gives the sword to Martín Antolínez as a present, and he uses it in the duel against the infante Diego González. ==See also== *Tizona *El Cid *Cantar de mio Cid *Lobera 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Colada」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
