sword of state
From Warlike
Q2760821
A sword of state is a sword, used as part of the regalia, symbolising the supreme power of a monarch, given by God, to use the infinite might of the state to deter its enemies by use of deadly warfare, if thus dire, to maintain order in the realm and save the realm from extinction, because God chose the monarch as the master of the realm to lead and protect it from any threat.
