pos: The Song of Roland editors of the Song of Roland, informed in part by patriotic desires to produce a distinctly French epic, could thus overstate the textual cohesiveness of the Roland tradition. This point is expressed by Andrew Taylor, who notes, "[T]he Roland song was, if not invented, at the very least constructed. By supplying it with an appropriate epic title, isolating it from its original codicological context, and providing a general history of minstrel performance in which its pure origin could be located, the early editors presented a 4,002 line poem as sung French epic". Charlemagne's army is fighting the Muslims in Spain.

The bulk of the poem is adjudged to date from before the Crusades (which started in 1098), but there are a few items where questions remain about these items being late additions shortly after the Crusades started. After two manuscripts were found in 1832 and 1835, the Song of Roland became recognized as France's national epic when an edition was published in 1837.

pos: Laisse Laisse A laisse is a type of stanza, of varying length, found in medieval French literature, specifically medieval French epic poetry (the "chanson de geste"), such as "The Song of Roland". In early works, each laisse was made up of (mono) assonanced verses, although the appearance of (mono) rhymed laisses was increasingly common in later poems. Within a poem, the length of each separate laisse is variable (whereas the metric length of the verses is invariable, each verse having the same syllable length, typically decasyllables or, occasionally, alexandrines. The laisse is characterized by stereotyped phrases and formulas and frequently repeated

The tale of Roland's death is retold in the eleventh-century poem "The Song of Roland", where he is equipped with the olifant (a signalling horn) and an unbreakable sword, enchanted by various Christian relics, named Durendal. The "Song" contains a highly romanticized account of the Battle of Roncevaux Pass and Roland's death, setting the tone for later fantastical depiction of Charlemagne's court. It was adapted and modified throughout the Middle Ages, including an influential Latin prose version

In the tradition, he was Roland's closest friend, advisor, and confidant, one of Charlemagne's twelve peers and brother of Aude, Roland's betrothed; and he dies at the Battle of Roncevaux Pass with Roland. Some critics have linked his name to the olive tree, a biblical symbol of divine wisdom. Whereas the portrayal of Roland is commonly seen as recklessly courageous, Oliver was

Polk characterized this theory as "imaginative speculation", adding that another scholar offered the "interestingly plausible" suggestion that Roland's "Califerne" is a corruption of the Persian "Kar-i-farn", a mythological "mountain of Paradise" where griffins lived. The "Song of Roland", an 11th-century Old French epic poem, may have served as the inspiration for the name "California". The poem refers to the defeat suffered August 15, 778, in the retreat of Charlemagne's army at the hands of the Basque army in Battle of Roncevaux Pass in the Pyrenees. On

The oldest surviving fragment is dated to 1519-1525, though the poem is probably older. Its stanzaic form resembles that of the Nibelungenlied. The poem fuses Biblical material, Midrashic legends, and rabbinical folklore with European courtly poetry, and belongs to the genre of the Ashkenazic national epic, comparable to other European epic poems, such as the Nibelungenlied and The Song of Roland.

The Poem of the Cid, for example, echoes the plot devices used in The Song of Roland epic.

In the Middle High German adaptation (Konrad der Pfaffe's "Rolandslied") the sword is called Mulagir, touted to be the "best seax (type of sword) in all of France", described as having a carbuncle shining on its pommel, and forged by a smith named Madelger in Regensburg.

The earliest version appeared in 1516, although the poem was not published in its complete form until 1532. "Orlando Furioso" is a continuation of Matteo Maria Boiardo's unfinished romance "Orlando Innamorato" ("Orlando in Love", published posthumously in 1495). In its historical setting and characters, it shares some features with the Old French "Chanson de Roland" of the eleventh century, which tells of the death of Roland. The story is also

The second chapter concerns the great medieval epic "Le Chanson de Roland", a poem which, Adams argued, “expressed the masculine and military passions of the Archangel” represented by that first cathedral.

Browning does not retell the "Song of Roland"; his starting point is Shakespeare. The gloomy, cynical Roland seeks the tower and undergoes various hardships on the way, although most of the obstacles arise from his own imagination. Once reached the Tower, Roland finds all those who failed to reach the tower, and under it he finally shout "Childe Roland to the dark tower came". What Roland finds inside the tower is not revealed. William Lyon Phelps proposes three different interpretations of the poem:

Unlike later Renaissance and Romantic literature, the poem focuses on action rather than introspection. The characters are presented through what they do, not through what they think or feel. The narrator gives few explanations for characters' behavior. The warriors are stereotypes defined by a few salient traits; for example, Roland is loyal and trusting while Ganelon, though brave, is traitorous and vindictive. The narrator is openly biased towards the Franks. His moral view is very black-and-white: the Franks are good, and the pagans are bad.

Some favor an earlier dating, because it allows one to say that the poem was inspired by the Castilian campaigns of the 1030s, and that the poem went on to be a major influence in the First Crusade. Those who prefer a later dating do so based upon what they interpret as brief references made in the poem to events of the First Crusade. In the poem, the term

The book explores the untold story of how Roland finds himself at Ronceveaux, betrayed by Ganelon and facing the expansive Saragossan host.

In his translation Konrad replaces French topics with generically Christian ones. The work was translated into Middle Dutch in the 13th century. It was also rendered into Occitan verse in the 14th- or 15th-century poem of "Ronsasvals", which incorporates the later, southern aesthetic into the story.

In the story of the Song of Roland, the weapon is given to Roland, and he uses it to defend himself single-handedly against thousands of Muslim attackers. According to one 12th-century legend from the French town of Rocamadour, Roland threw the sword into a cliffside. You can still see a sword there, allegedly Durandal, embedded into the cliff-face. A Latin poem, "Carmen de Prodicione Guenonis", was composed around 1120, and a Latin prose version, "Historia Caroli Magni" (often known as "The Pseudo-Turpin") even earlier.

The last stressed syllable of each line in a laisse has the same vowel sound as every other end-syllable in that laisse. The laisse is therefore an assonal, not a rhyming stanza. On a narrative level, the "Song of Roland" features extensive use of repetition, parallelism, and thesis-antithesis pairs. Roland proposes Ganelon for the dangerous

The related short stories and novellas all center on the Dorsai, primarily members of the Graeme and Morgan families. While, on the face of it, the Childe Cycle is a science fiction

The song, with Speaks's music, was sung by Frank Sinatra with alterations to the text such as "broad" for "girl" which were disliked by Kipling's family. Bertolt Brecht's "Mandalay Song", set to music by Kurt Weill, alludes to the poem. The Mandalay referred to in this poem was the sometime capital city of Burma, which was part of British India

The number 52 was probably given by the late Hugh Conway and was never used by the factory. The factory always referred the car as Baby. The first example of a Type 52 was built for Ettore's son, five-year-old Roland, and was first shown at an exhibition in

The cover artwork was hand painted by Jordan Raskin. The authors determined when writing both the screenplay and the novel to remain in the world created by the poem; thus Charles remains an older man near the end of his long reign rather than in 778 when the attack on the rearguard actually occurred. Further, this novel bookends the story with William the Conqueror's use of the poem as a motivator for Norman forces prior to the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The

Lanyer's poem, dedicated to Margaret Clifford, Countess of Cumberland and her daughter Lady Anne Clifford refers to Philomela's "sundry layes"(line 31) and later to her "mournful ditty" (line 189). The image of the nightingale appears frequently in poetry of the

It is perhaps worth noting that, while King seems to have based the novels more on the Browning poem, there are some similarities between Roland's tale and "Childe Rowland," such as the sorcerer "Maerlyn" and an antagonistic "king" figure (represented in the novel by the Crimson King). Also his father's sword is represented by Roland's large .45 revolvers and
