The Spear of Destiny, also known as the Holy Lance, is the name given to the lance that pierced Jesus of Nazareth during his crucifixion in 33 CE.[1] Centuries later, during the Vikings' siege of Paris in 885 CE, legend held that the lance head was allegedly embedded in the pommel of Frankish king Charlemagne's short sword Joyeuse[2] The rest of the lance was believed to be held in the Hofburg palace treasury in Vienna, Austria until 1938, when the Nazi regime reportedly seized it following Austria's annexation.[3]
