Difference (from prior major revision) (minor diff, author diff)

Changed: 9,11c9
The man who served him as his right arm was Minaya Alvar Fáñez, a close relative. His sword "Tizona" can still be seen in the Army Museum at Madrid. Soon after his death it became one of the most precious possession's of the Spanish royal family. This is a very special, well-forged sword he captured from the Arabs, and only recent studies have recreated a metal-forging process that came close to the excellent properties of the steel. His battle horse was called "Babieca". They had a horse for battles and another one for travelling, and would change horses quickly if they had to fight, so that their best horse would not be tired of the journey.
