THE CURTANA SWORD OF MERCY
Curtana, also known as the Sword of Mercy, is a ceremonial sword used at the coronation of
British kings and queens. One of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom, its end is blunt
and squared to symbolise mercy. The current sword is a copy made in the 17th century. The
original is thought to be the same as the unnamed regalia sword purported to be Tristan's
sword. The claim of Curtana being the sword of Edward the Confessor is probably spurious.
