Who is Roland of the Middle Ages?
Roland was a military leader during the time of Charlemagne. His position was to oversee the border with Brittany. But he was involved in the action in the Pyrenees, when Charlemagne was securing the border with Spain. A part of the Frankish army was ambushed by Basques high in the mountains, the Frankish soldiers were killed, and a baggage train was taken. Roland died in this action. The story of Roland became important with the passing of time, and the Song of Roland was composed to tell the story in the 11th century. It attained a literary importance similar to that of stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.
What is about a knight named Roland who fights against the Muslims?
The tale of Roland is a famous one. According to legend, Roland was a paladin in service of Charlemagne. After Charlemagne was returning from campaigning against the Spanish Islamic states, his rearguard, commanded by Roland, was ambushed in the Pass of Roncesvalles. Roland had a famous horn, given him by Charlemagne, that he was to sound in case of trouble to bring back the army. Roland refused to call the army back into a trap, and did not sound the horn until the very end, when all his knights were dead, and he was dying. Charlemange rode into the pass to find his faithful retainer and his entire rearguard dead, but the majority of the vastly larger ambushing force killed also. This last stand has become a famous tale.
