Song of Roland, an epic poem based on the Battle of Roncevaux in 778, describes Charlemagne riding into battle with Joyeuse by his side:
[Charlemagne] was wearing his fine white coat of mail and his helmet with gold-studded stones; by his side hung Joyeuse, and never was there a sword to match it; its color changed thirty times a day.
One day, during battle, Charlemagne allegedly lost Joyeuse, and promised a reward for anyone who could find it. After several attempts, one of his soldiers brought it to him and Charlemagne kept his promise by saying, “
Here will be built an estate of which you will be the lord and master, and your descendants will take the name of my wonderful sword: Joyeuse.” Charlemagne is said to have planted his sword in the ground to mark the point where the town would be built. According to the story, this is the origin of the French town of Joyeuse in Ardèche, which was founded on that spot and named in honor of the sword

En días recientes, una oleada de templos cristianos incendiados en territorio canadiense como respuesta al hallazgo de miles de restos de infantes en terrenos de internados católicos ha vuelto a poner sobre la mesa las prácticas crueles hasta el punto de la brutalidad con que la Iglesia lleva a cabo su labor de evangelización, con la que apoya las políticas colonialistas y genocidas de los gobiernos.
