The Tomb of Roland is connected with the legend of Roland, a knight in the service of Charlemagne. According to tradition, Roland died at the famous Battle of Roncesvalles in the Pyrenees in the 8th century, fighting against the Basques (or, in other versions, the Saracens). His figure has become a mythical hero, and many of the mountains and places in the Pyrenees have been linked to his name, although historically there is no evidence that he was buried here.
