LePage and a puzzle

Still work by Rainer Daenhdardt on a sword from his collection ...

Here comes the most important discovery on the LEPAGE SWORD OF HONOUR.
The maker did something never seen before. He dedicated some time to create a puzzle which he chisselled on the inner side of the guard.
Among many well alined decorations he spread a number of gothic letters all around. Gothic became again a taste of time.
It took a while to find out why.
He wrote: “LEPAGE LARQUEBUSIER DU ROI ET DU LEMPEREUR”.
