Image description

The Holy Lance, 51cm long, is the oldest part of the imperial regalia. The metal spike in the middle of the blade is universally claimed to have been one of the nails used to bind Christ to the cross. According to legend, it was soaked with the blood of Jesus when Longius tested whether he was dead. It dates from the Carolingian or pre-Carolingian period, and was handed over to Henry I by Rudolf of Burgundy.
