As Merodach, the prototype weapon, known to be on level of A-rank weapon, all other swords that shared or recognized to stem from same histories also have their value on A-rank or below, hardly higher.

Caliburn is B as fellow 'sword of selection'. Gram and Caladbolg are A+, related to them there is Excalibur itself with A++.

Gram and Caladbolg are 'reforged' on its myths that they ended up carrying different myths, while Excalibur undergoes whole different history with fairies, etc. Still, not ignoring fact that all of them are A-rank weapons. So far only Ea the very prototype of weapon to be called "swords", a 'sword' that have EX-rank (aside of Santa Attila's candy bar).

Nasuverse already established that Durindana is prototype to Durandal. So Durandal value itself, if we following the lore, should be around A - B;

Charlemagne and Astolfo in Extella already showing that paladins weapons are around B to A level; until further confirmation it won't be around B to possible EX like Knight of Rounds.

No its established that Durindana in pronounced in Latin is Durandal not that its the prototype, and even if it was the feats Durandal performed were far greater than its prototype therefore it has to be greater in rank. I do not believe for one second that both weapons are related at all and if they were, historically Durandal is greater in both feats and legend. Therefore it should be a greater NP that represented its actually an injustice considering Charlemagne's Paladins were like the first knights in the world and therefore should have way higher legendary weight than the round table. So unless Merlin managed to cheat the throne of heroes, it just makes no sense why they aren't as strong as they should be. Astolpho I can probably understand because he is the weakest amoungst them, but Charlemagne and Roland? Charlemange was one of the greatest leaders in history, and Durandal was one of the strongest holy swords, sure Roland himself was nothing special but his sword was. At the very least it should be A rank and higher for its feats alone.
