From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Crocea Mors (Latin for "Yellow Death") is the name given to the sword of Julius Caesar, in a legend told by Geoffrey of Monmouth. In Middle Welsh versions, it is called Angau Coch ("Red Death") or "Angau Glas" ("Gray Death").

According to legend, the British prince Nennius takes possession of it after his single fight with Caesar: the sword remained stuck in his shield. With it, Nennius kills any opponent he hits. He died nevertheless fifteen days after the battle, following a head injury inflicted by Caesar. Crocea Mors is buried with him.
