Özet
Frank King Charlemagne organizes an expedition in Spain in 778 upon the invitation of some Muslim governors. The Arab and Latin historical sources agree that Frank Army had been defeated before Zaragoza. Charlemagne and his army were ambushed by Christian Basks at Roncevaux Pass by marching across the Pyrenees. The rearguard of Charlemagne’s army was defeated and all of soldiers were almost killed in this battle. For this reason, the most famous Frank epopee Song of Roland was written after four centuries. The Song of Roland had been written in order to give a historical support to the Crusades. These historical events occurred during the expedition of Charlemagne survive in The Song of Roland, but they had been altered: the history had been transformed into legend. In this epopee the Spanish aggressors in the Battle of Roncevaux Pass in the mountains of the Pyrenees became Muslim Saracens whereas they were Christian Basks; the Muslims were considered as pagans who adore the idols. © The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology.
