The Cortain, a storied and mythical weapon, could be older than the modern-day Curtana, famously used in British coronation ceremonies. A legendary swordsman named Ogier the Dane, from the time of Charlemagne, once wielded this short blade. His epic adventures saw him clashing with the Saracens in Spain, where it's said he secured the sword. Its narrative roots run even deeper, reportedly hailing from the romantic saga of Tristan and Iseult, where it first appeared as Tristan's broken weapon.
