Right to the hilt, his spear in flinders flew.
Then says Rollant: "Companion, what do you?
In such a fight, there's little strength in wood,
Iron and steel should here their valour prove.
Where is your sword, that Halteclere I knew?
Golden its hilt, whereon a crystal grew."
Says Oliver: "I had not, if I drew,
Time left to strike enough good blows and true."
-from The Song of Roland, verses 1359-1366
the death of Orlando (Roland), Roncevaux Pass, 778 AD

"Count Roland smites upon the marble stone;
I cannot tell you how he hewed it and smote;
Yet the blade breaks not nor splinters, though it groans;
Upward to heaven it rebounds from the blow.
When the count sees it never will be broke,
Then to himself right softly he makes moan;
'Ah, Durendal, fair, hallowed, and devote,
What store of relics lies in thy hilt of gold!'"
It exists. It's one of the great epics. Go, google, and enjoy. :)
