An ancient French sword has mysteriously vanished after 1,300 years wedged inside a rock 32ft off the ground.

The Durandal, which is France’s version of King Arthur’s legendary Excalibur, was reported missing from the clifftop village of Rocamadour on Monday.

It belonged to Roland, a famous knight in French literature who was said to own the ‘indestructible’ sword, which had become an iconic part of the area.

A witch probably had to be stuck dead.

Have to use a magic sword to do that proper.

Not a chance in forever that it would be the real relic available for the taking.

Listen, strange women lying in ponds, distributin’ swords is no system for a system of government.
You can’t expect to weild supreme executive authority without a mandate from the masses.

Oh wait. 74 million votes.

Thanks Beowulf9. Seems like there's a similar sword in the stone somewhere in Italy.

That was my first thought. What timing! The true and rightful heir to the throne.

Whoever got it had to work at it. The darned thing was 32’ in the air and embedded into the side of a cliff.

I would pour vinegar in the hole and wait...eventually it will disintegrate the rust...and voila...

Now you might have to be a bit clever as to how to make it keep contact with the sword...but I bet that's how they did it. I think cola might work, too.
