Saragossa-Spain


A very important event that happens to be based on the Song of Roland that takes place as Charlemagne's rear guard leaves the Basque territory that lies in Spain. His defeat caused a need for the word to spread, because people are interested when such a great force could get defeated. So, the defeat was told as an amazing romanticized peace of epic literature that is full with 4000 lines. It speaks of the defeat that Charlemagne's army had taken in Roland in the battle at the Roncesvalles. This is very significant because it is one of the most important epic pieces of literature that has come from the middle ages. This is a picture of the story written of the defeat.
