Sir Rolands last stand

[DNL]

hello!

this is my entry for the legend category of the ClassicCastleContestV:

Sir Roland's last stand

the story:

Roland leads the rearguard of the frankish army. a huge army of Basques is seen to be approaching the rear guard.

Roland's friend Oliver advises him to blow his horn "olifant" to summon the rest of the army, but Roland's code of honour obliges him to fight despite being outnumbered.

It soon becomes clear that the Franks will lose. when only Roland and two of his friends are still alive, Roland blows his horn, not in the expectation of rescue, but hoping that Charles will return to bury their bodies and revenge their martyrdom.

(Wikipedia) there are a lot of different versions of this story.
