The COLADA is one of the two swords, together with the Tizona, that legendary tradition attributes to the Cid, until he gave them to his sons-in-law, the Infantes de Carrión. The sword had been won in combat by the Burgos warrior from the Count of Barcelona and, although it was given, together with the Tizona, to his sons-in-law the Infantes, it was returned by them after the affront committed against their daughters, Doña Elvira and Doña Sol in the town of Corpes and which gave rise to the name of the affront narrated by the song of Mío Cid. After the incident, El Cid had been disgraced and asked the king for justice. The trial culminates with the "riepto" or duel in which the representatives of the cause of the Cid defeat the infants. These are dishonored in a public joust and their weddings are annulled, also returning the swords. Colada being given again by the Cid to his knight Martín Antolínez. Historians also doubt that the one kept in the Royal Palace of Madrid and shown as the royal Colada sword is indeed the authentic one.
