Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Song of Roland: Translated Into English Prose
Whether this song corresponded to any part of the version of Roland that has been preserved in the Oxford Manuscript, we cannot know. But, at least, that version, composed soon after the Con quest, gives us the kind of story the Normans liked to listen to.
