: In myth (lower case M) Roland and eleven others were
: Charlemange's Twelve Peers, the Paladins.

: In real history, does anyone really know who he was?
: I know he was some lord under Charlemange.
: That's about it.

The Song of Roland. AFAIK it is for the most part historically accurate. I don't remember the whole thing though, been a long time since I read it, so there might be some obvious fantasies in there... but as I recall it's pretty straight forward.
