Synopsis

Gui of Burgundy extends the period of time spent in Spain by Charles and his army to twenty-six years. Roland at Saragossa relates in an heroi-comic manner how Roland sneaks into Saragossa at the request of the pagan Queen Braslimonda. Finally, Otinel tells of a Saracen envoy who comes to Paris to challenge Charlemagne on behalf of the Emir Garsile. The volume includes explanatory notes and an introduction placing the poems in their wider historical and cultural contexts.
