The Song of Roland

Screen shot from Amazon


"The lord and King of France, Charles the Great
Has spent seven long years fighting Spain.
He has conquered the highlands and the plain.
Before him not a single fort remains,
No town or city wall for him to break,
But Saragossa, on a high mountain
Ruled by King Marsilly the Saracen.
He serves Mohamed, to Apollo prays,
But even there he never will be safe."


The Pillars of the Earth, Ken Follett
