This ambitious examination of all the proper names in the Chanson de Roland shows that in its presentation of both the Christian and non-Christian sides, it is finely structured even up to the smallest scenes, and at the same time, substantially worldlier than has been generally assumed. This makes it possible to retrace the outlines of the Chanson?s long prehistory, though with diminishing certainty, as far back as the Frankish defeat of 778.

The year was 778. Charlemagne, starting homeward after an expedition onto the Iberian Peninsula, left his nephew, Count Roland, in command of a rear guard. As Roland and his troops moved through the Pyrenees, a fierce enemy swooped down and annihilated them. Whether the attackers were Moors, Basques, Gascons, or Aquitainians is still disputed. The massacre soon passed into legend, preserved but at the same time expanded and interpreted in oral tradition and written accounts.Dormant after the late Middle Ages, the legend began to inspire literary works even before the discovery and publication
