The issue is as follows: After seven years of Crusade, the Emperor Charlemagne conquered Spain from the Moors. Only resists Zaragoza, King Marsilio. Franks received a suspicious peace proposals. Roland proposed as ambassador to his stepfather Ganelon. He believes that Roland intends to send to death and decides to get revenge. As ambassador prepares Treason stirs the Moors against Roldan, who responsible for the harassment they face. Marsilio Ganelon suggests that promises to Charlemagne whatever, that will be the troops so they can attack the French rearguard, which will be Roland and the Twelve Peers of France. Charlemagne returned to France and Ganelon proposal, hopes the rear to Roldan.
Charlemagne crossed the Pyrenees, on the rear that runs down the numerosísimo army Roldán Marsilio. Despite sage advice from Oliver, Roland, brave and reckless, did not use his horn (the ivory horn) to call to his aid the main army, which has already passed the gorge. Roldán, assisted by the flower of French chivalry, fighting bravely, rejects two waves of heathen, but at a high price. One by one the men fell to the Moors countless harassing them. Roland decides finally to play the ivory horn to warn his uncle, the Emperor Charlemagne. It does so with such force that it burst the temples.
