Im glad it survived the revolution. What an amazing slice of history ❤😊

[@lorddevonshire6382]

What an extraordinary survival! I didn't realise it was still around.

​@@allanbartonHey Allan, could I request a medieval church for you to cover possibly? In Hertfordshire. I'm an American who follows it channel an my ancient ancestor is buried in the floor there.

Beautiful craftmanship

[@_sugarK0ma_]

Amazing. Thank you, Mr. Barton ✨

There is a picture of king Louis 14th of France wearing this sword the portrait is by hyacinthe riguard it was painted for king Louis 14ths grandson Philip the fifth of Spain

[@TheBlondeSunset]

Late 9th century isn’t shabby!

[@allanbarton]

No not at all.

[@flyingisaac2186]

They just need a ceremony so Macron can strut around with it on his belt. It's extraordinary to see a blade so old, yet it looks almost newly made. My Antiquary copy came today. Thanks.

[@StevenKeery]

Beautiful.

[@dracobruhma]

Damn! Thats cool!

[@istoppedcaring6209]

charlemagne is hotly claimed by germany and france and in truth he was born in ghent and spoke the local language mainly but he spent his time all over europe

[@allanbarton]

Yes, he was a Frank and France & Germany of course didn’t exist. Both were parts of his empire.

[@joshuafess4295]

I know the recreated the replica of the imperial crown from Henry VIII be so cool if the did that with some of the lost crowns of the Anciene Regime

[@DGneoseeker1]

If the complete scabbard is on the left of the picture, what are all those parts on the right?

[@allanbarton]

Watch my long form video, I tell you.

[@DGneoseeker1]

​@@allanbarton I went to your Videos page and searched for Joyeuse and it gave one search result. When I clicked on that it opened up into the normal proper video format rather than looking like a short, but it's the same clip (where this reply is located). 1 minute long. Is there another longer video that includes this sword?

[@allanbarton]

@@DGneoseeker1 yes, a full video on the French Crown Jewels.

[@DGneoseeker1]

@@allanbarton Ah, thanks.

[@edmundprice5276]

Why don't they use it for french presidents?

[@valerianocosta5976]

now find Fragarach

[@richmondvand147]

the very notion that "the Hammer" would use anything but a plain old hammer is funny to me. There are heretics to rout I have no time for your jewels besides the Pope is giving me plenty hahaha. Gorgeous either way though

[@lawrencebarker4311]

I think you may be confusing Charlemagne and Charles Martel (his grandfather).

[@webo1521]

Charlemagne isnt real
