The Song of Roland by Unknown

3.0

Very gory account/song of the Battle of Roncevaux (Year 778), in which the Basques decimate Charlemaine's rear guard (including knight Roland). Liberties were taken in the telling of this battle, which pits the "good" (Christians) against the "bad" (paynims, muslims, or non-Christians). Oldest written piece of French literature.
