Ignored the right answer as it sounded like a sword from Lord of the Rings.

Roland was a soldier of Charlemagne a Mediaeval French king who fought a tear guard action for Charlesmagnes army . I believe it was a pass called Roncesvalles . With Durendal he wrought terrible devastation on the Moors but was killed in the battle .
He ranks next to Joan of Arc as a French hero

I recall reading that Chaemagne had so many children that it's likely every fair skinned person of European descent is related to him.
