An ancient sword known as the French version of King Arthur\u2019s legendary \u201cExcalibur\u201d has mysteriously vanished from the town where, according to local lore, it had remained lodged in a rock for 1,300 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Durandal sword appears to have been taken by a thief from its stone in the tiny medieval town of Rocamadour, where it was one of the town\u2019s main attractions, The Telegraph reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For centuries it\u2019s been believed the sword once belonged to Roland, a semi-legendary knight who bravely fought for Charlemagne in the eighth century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials in Rocamadour have launched an investigation into the disappearance of the sword, which was yanked from its spot in a cliff wall some 100 feet off the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
