"La Chanson de Roland" is an epic poem written in the 12th century, using the form of French that was spoken in England at the period. It is the first of its genre, and depicts a battle between the army of Charlemagne, king of the French early 9th century, and Pays Basque (which is nowadays on either parts of the Pyrennées, the natural border between France and Spain). It is said to be the battle where Charlemagne's nephew, Roland, lost his life in the valley of Ronceveaux.
