More Details
Before King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, there was Charlemagne and his knights, chief of whom was Roland. L'Epine's story (with humor verging on satire) offers an often fantastical glimpse of the age of chivalry, full of love, honour, betrayal, and battles. Several stories are interwoven in this fascinating narrative, involving Charlemagne's leadership, jousts and battles with the Saracens, political betrayal, the romance of knights (including Roland, and his lady), and a brave young girl, Mitaine, who faces a dark faceless enemy and becomes a page in Roland's service. The story is well-illustrated by the notable Gustave Doré.
