2-Too recent to be lost to time really, as for the different last name, possible but I don't see why it would be done necessarily.

3.a: If Jaune changed his name he may not recognise Jaune himself, the sword though which would surely be a considered a famous historical object considering the past user and battle is a different story however.

3.b. Never asked Jaune about it? Oobleck is an inquisitive person who'd likely want to know more about the weapon and Jaune's heritage from the guy himself.

4. But before that the sword wasn't at Beacon, conflicting the relic tale.......... 1-What uniqueness? It's only uniqueness is that everyone else uses weapons from at least (our) near future, while Crocea Mors (and that "legendary" sword of He-Man) is just a plain and basic sword with a plain design that make it look like almost every other sword of their age.

Imagine you saw Alexander Magnus's sword, the one he wielded in life. Would you be able to tell it was his very sword, and not just any roman sword of his age?

2a-Cultural ignorance grows over time thanks to intercultural exchange. Besides, "80 years" is not really recent. Historical information from 80+ years ago can and has been lost to time.

If He-Man's reputation outlived his own name, it was bound to happen even more; people would remember his achievements, what the Warrior-King did and all, but eventually it becomes just "Warrior-King", without anyone knowing or remembering his actual name, only the title.

As for the different family name, there are myriads of ways it happened.

-Maybe one of his descendants went the Ruby route and used the family name of the other parent.

-Maybe Jaune is actually descended from a bastard or second child whose identity had to be kept hidden (meaning only a select few would know about his lineage).

And so on.

3a-Read point 1. The sword itself may be a historical artifact wielded by a famous warrior, but that doesn't mean anyone knows how it looked, especially when it looks no different than any other plain sword of it's age.

Hell, I doubt cameras even existed back in the Great War in Vale, and if they did the low quality and likely-lack of color would make the weapon be harder to identify through comparisons, especially when the shape and design in itself would not be sufficient.

That, and....imitations exist, so even if someone claimed it was the famous weapon, whether they believed him is a different story. And yes, those imitations can become family heirlooms too. Multiple times someone claims their family has had X Legendary Object for generations, and then it turns out it was a fake.

But that is in itself another subject.

3b-Assumptions. Oobleck has not acted even half that inquisitive. Did you see him butting into Ruby's face and asking her about Summer Rose? Did you see him butting into Weiss's face and asking her about Nicholas Cage? I never did.

Wanting to know is one thing. Knowing someone related is another. If he doesn't know about Jaune's lineage, why would he ask him? Especially since Jaune has only mentioned his ancestry....what, only once? And never in class.

4-I figure, I was mostly spitballing with that part.
