Joyeuse was a the legendary personal short sword used by the Frankish king Charlemagne. Made with a gold and gem-encrusted hilt, the blade was forged from the same metal that made Durendal, a sword wielded by the heroic paladin Roland. Adding to it's fabled stature, the pommel of Joyeuse was further believed to contain the head of the Holy Lance, the spear that pierced Jesus of Nazareth as he was crucified.[1]
At some point after Charlemagne's death, the sword was somehow placed in the Lutetia Bureau in Paris which had been sealed with its keys scattered since the withdrawal of the Hidden Ones from Gaul in the mid 5th century CE. In 886, the Viking jarlskona Eivor Varinsdottir of the Raven Clan found and claimed the weapon for herself while aiding Sigfred's efforts in laying siege to Paris.[2]
