Flamberge

The flamberge, also called floberge or froberge, is a sword swung by a number of fictional heroes of chansons de geste and romances, and the word became a generic name for a large sword. Swords by that name are wielded by Renaud de Montauban and his cousin Maugris in The Four Sons of Aymon, by Antenor in the Roman de Troie, by Begon in Garin le Loherain, and by the hero of Galien le Restore; the name, from the French flamber meaning to flame, has many connotations, including swords without a flamed blade, and it remains a frequent name or alias for swords in medieval chansons de geste and romances, where it often denotes a large sword.
