The "Legends of Charlemagne" encompasses a collection of medieval romances and tales surrounding Charlemagne, the great King of the Franks and Emperor of the Carolingian Empire during the 8th and early 9th centuries. These legends, part of the "Matter of France" in medieval literature, weave together historical facts with fantastical elements, presenting Charlemagne's paladins, particularly the Twelve Peers, in epic battles, quests, and chivalric adventures. Heroes like Roland, Oliver, and Ogier the Dane take center stage in these stories, with the most famous being "The Song of Roland," which narrates the tragic Battle of Roncevaux Pass. These tales were instrumental in shaping the chivalric code of the Middle Ages and have significantly influenced European literature and culture. Through dramatic narratives, they explore themes of loyalty, betrayal, honor, and valiance, offering a mythical and embellished account of the Carolingian era.
