Durendal Durandal or Durendal ( most likely from the French " durer " , " to endure " ; Italian : Durlindana Spanish : Durandal or Durandarte ) is the sword of Charlemagne ' s paladin Roland in the literary cycle known as the Matter of France . The origin of the sword received various accounts ; the sword is given various provenances in the Matter of France . Several of the works of the Matter of France , however , agree that the sword was forged by Wayland the Smith , who is commonly cited as a maker of romantic weapons . According to the " Song of Roland " , the sword is brought by an angel to Charlemagne , who gives it to Roland . According to Ludovico Ariosto ' s " Orlando Furioso " it once belonged to Hector of Troy , and was given to Roland by Malagigi ( Maugris ) . This is questionable , given that the swords of Hector ' s time were made of bronze . In " The Song of Roland " , the sword is said to contain within its golden hilt one tooth of Saint Peter , blood of Saint Basil , hair of Saint Denis , and a piece of the raiment of the Blessed Virgin Mary , and to be the sharpest sword in all existence . In the poem , Roland uses the sword to hold off a hundred - thousand - strong Muslim army long enough for Charlemagne ' s army to retreat into France . Roland attempted to destroy the sword to prevent it from being captured by the attacking Saracens and created La Brèche de Roland in the Pyrenees in the process . But Durandal proved indestructible , so he hid it beneath his body along with the oliphant , the horn used to alert Charlemagne . Local folklore claims Durandal still exists , preserved in Rocamadour , France , embedded in a cliff wall . In the twelfth century , the monks of Rocamadour claimed that Roland threw the sword rather than hid it beneath himself . However , the local tourist office calls the sword a replica of Durandal . In Popular Culture . In the popular book series The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel , Durendal is one of the four elemental swords . In the popular manga , One Piece , Durendal , spelled Durandal is the sword of the ' Pirate Prince ' Cavendish , also in the anime , Light novel and manga High School DxD , Durendal , also spelled Durandal , is the sword the demon Xenovia is wielding .

In The Dresden Files series of contemporary fantasy novels by Jim Butcher , the holy sword , Esperacchius , the Sword of Hope , is said to be a reforged Durendal . In the Front Mission series of games , one pan military peacekeeping organization operates under that name and a banner of a sword .
