  • Descrição: Legend has it that even in the modern world the holy lance of the mediaeval Roman Empire has played a significant role in reflecting the concepts of men. It has been reported that in 1914 the German Emperor Wilhelm II, as "Emperor of the World," wished to have a reconstruction of the labarum of Constantine, as a symbol of dominion in the East, and a copy of the holy lance, as a symbol of dominion in the West, carried before him under the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. In England in 1960 another legend arose which reported that in 1938, on the evening of Hitler's entry into Vienna, the holy lance was brought before the German Chancellor with the acclamation "Mein Führer! Der Schicksalspeer." During the height of the battles of the Second World War, Hitler supposedly had the sacred object brought to his personal headquarters as a talisman of victory, and when the tide turned against the Nazis he ordered it buried near Nuremberg where the American troops, according to this story recovered it. Lord Glentanar is reported to have uttered the cry of terror, "where is the holy lance? If the Russians get it, they will be the masters of Europe." 1 These are, of course, legends and inventions, but they do indicate the continuing hold on men's minds and emotions of the holy lance, the most treasured royal and imperial symbol of the Saxon and Salian period in German history. The difficulty, however, lies in discovering the iconographic significance of this symbol for the men of the tenth and eleventh centuries.
