Flamberge or Floberge

.

The sword which Maugis took from Anthénor, the Saracen admiral, when he came to attack the castle of Oriande la Feé. It was made by Weyland, the Vulcan, of the Northern Olympus. (Romance of Maugis dʹAygremont et de Vivian son Erère.)

“Mais si une fois je luy fais essayer ceste-cy plus tranchante que ‘Joyeuse, Durandel, Hauteclaire, ou Flamberge,ʹ je le fendray jusques à lʹestomach.”—Pierre de lʹArivey: Le Jaloux, v. 6.
