    There’s got to be a better headline - the sword’s name and legend looks just as compelling as Excalibur even if not as well known (outside France)

      The point is that Excalibur is well known and Durendal isnt. They want eyes, and so make the article headline reference something everyone knows, then educate in the article body.
