In "The Song of Roland," Roland is in charge of the rear guard of King Charlemagne's army. He leads a contingent of Frankish knights as they defend against the Saracen forces while the main army retreats. His leadership and bravery are central to the epic's themes of heroism and loyalty. Ultimately, Roland's charge leads to a tragic but heroic battle at Roncevaux Pass.

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.
