Rolands Durendal Sword
Roland was a semi-legendary French knight, the hero of the 11th century Chanson de Roland. He was the most celebrated of the Paladins of Charlemagne and is said to have been the nephew of Charlemagne, and the ideal of a Christian knight. The only evidence for his historical existence is a passage in Einhard's Life of Charlemagne, which refers to Roland as having fallen at Roncesvalle in 778. Roland used a magic sword called Durendal. Legend says that with a blow Durendal, he opened a pass in the Pirennees known today as Breche de Roland. Roland feels himself dying; he tries to destroy his sword Durendal, so that it not fall into the wrong hands, and fails.
