The French “Excalibur” has gone missing, and is presumed stolen. The Durandal sword was embedded in a stone 32 feet above the ground in the village of Rocamadour. Legend has it that Roland, a knight, threw it there 1,300 years ago to protect the invincible blade from enemy hands. Police are investigating the incident. “We will miss Durandal. It has been part of Rocamadour for centuries, there is not a single guide who does not show it during their visit,” Mayor Dominique Lenfant said. “Rocamadour feels stripped of a part of itself.” (newser)
