For hundreds of years it has been thought that the sword once belonged to Roland, a semi-legendary who fought for Charlemagne in the eighth century.

According to The New York Post, citing a report by The Telegraph, n sword that is regarded as France’s “Excalibur” has vanished from its stone. Per the publication, locals in the French town of Rocamadour believed the sword, Durandal, had been lodged in rock for around 1,300 years. A main attraction for the town, the sword could be found stuck in a sheer rock wall about 100 feet off the ground

Authorities in France are working to determine how the sword was taken from the 100 foot sheer rock face.

    That probably wasn’t the target audience of the article. It was probably people who were more likely to know Excalibur than Durendal.
