King Charles To Receive Unusual Sword Named ‘The Elizabeth’, After Late Queen Elizabeth

A specially made sword will be presented to King Charles of England next week when Coronation is celebrated in Scotland.
VerseNews Nigeria reports that the government of Scotland on Friday announced that a new ceremonial sword of state will be presented to the King named ‘The Elizabeth’ after the late Queen.
The new sword will replace ‘the Sword of State’ also know as ‘the Papal Sword’ which has not been used at public events in recent years due to its deteriorating condition.
The sword was designed by Mark Dennis, an advocate from St Andrews and was commissioned at the end of last year at a cost of £22,000.
One side of the blade has a Royal motto, ‘In my defens God me defend’, and ‘Nemo me impune lacessit’, inscribed on it.

“There’s never been anything like it before.
“It was a concept and the concept was simply this: it had to work.
“It had to work as a ceremonial sword, so its overall dimensions are about the same as the papal sword, but it also had to be entirely different.
“So the nature of it, the fact that the hilt and the quillings are a swirling thistle you’ll never have seen before on another sword.
“Gilded as it is, it looks appropriate. It looks like a sword of state,” Dennis said.
This Online News Media gathered that the King is to be presented with the Honours of Scotland at a national service of thanksgiving at St Giles’ Cathedral on July 5, but will be given the new sword on the Monday before.
