Having real-life counterparts only making the heroes capabilities able to be traced. Potentially severely lower their mythical aspects as it could mean their mythical aspect are just rumor to boasts their ordinary achievement or making them considered as heroes, while they originally doesn't do any heroic act but an ordinary task of being a border guard.

KOTR is chosen for reason that its the only knight tale with connection to Grail legends. FSN is story about fighting for Grail, after all--their connections to Grail, do gave birth to strong mythical aspect on their original lore like fairies even Galahad himself, inspiring many writings.

Paladins themselves on other hand only another name to define government official knights, something that already exist on other countries beforehand without them showing up. They definitely not on same level of defining what hero is like Gilgamesh-- not when their fictional version clearly came after KOTR stories.

Charlemagne already out and he already defines Paladin power level as he have access to all Paladin signature weapons, among them, none of it displaying somethings worthy of EX-rank weapon, even his own Joyeuse but his personal skill that grant him access to his NP.

As far it still subject of change, I still see no reason to put Durandal on EX while Nasu already set the bar of EX-rank weapon with Ea and Vasavi Shakti.

Look I am just gonna take your whole opinion on this and throw it one side. I beleive it could be an EX rank NP, simply because Excalibur is therefore its compareable. Secondly their mythical aspect of the paladins did not come after the legend of king arthur it was always there. Thirdly its about more than just servants in the employ of Goverment officials because if you didn't know Charlamagne became pope because of their efforts and it was then that it was established the first code of Chivilry which btw is the thing that makes a knight a knight so saying that they didn't have majour impact is total bs. Finally it has more than enough reason otherwise Natsu needs to shaft it along with the other Holy swords that are comparable to excalibur. E.g: Clamo Solaris, Shamshir, Arectaris etc etc.
