Charlemagne's Joyeuse—
The Sword of France

The hilt and handle were decorated with gold and jewels, and the pommel was said to have contained the head of the Spear of Longinus, the same point that pierced Jesus’ side. The famous blacksmith Galas spent three years fashioning it. pic.twitter.com/JIhKQQoanZ
