"The Song of Roland" by C. K. Scott-Moncrieff is a translation of an 11th-century epic poem. This medieval chanson de geste recounts the legendary deeds of Frankish warrior Roland at the Battle of Roncevaux Pass during Charlemagne's campaign in Spain. When Roland's stepfather Ganelon betrays the rear guard to Muslim forces, Roland must choose between pride and survival as his outnumbered men face overwhelming odds in a mountain pass ambush. This oldest surviving work of French literature explores themes of loyalty, honor, and heroic sacrifice.

The Song of Roland, from the public domain. Republished by OpenStories from Project Gutenberg eBook #391.
