Flamberge
Flamberge is a fictional medieval sword. Swung by a number of heroes of chansons de geste and romances, the name became a generic name for a large sword.
In earlier texts the name is usually given as "floberge" or "froberge", but the name developed under the influence of the word . Swords by that name are wielded by Renaud de Montauban in The Four Sons of Aymon ; Antenor in the Roman de Troie ; Begon, the brother of the eponymous hero of Garin le Loherain ; and the hero of Galien le Restoré. In early 20th-c works, swords of the name were wielded by Dom Manuel of James Branch Cabell's Biography of the Life of Manuel and by Prince Valiant.
