Thank you. Yes, Bramimonde is the Queen of Zaragoza, wife of King Marsile and mother of Jurfaleu the Blond (from Wikipedia).

If I recall correctly there was a character in it Bramimonde. The name just popped up as I was listening to you.

Thanks Dora. Yes he had an ivory horn, but alas, he blew it too late (and blew so hard he blew out his temples).

Something tells me that all 4002 lines were not part of the oral tradition for 300 hundred years. I’m guessing Turoldus took a short story and added a few (thousand) embellishments (poetic license).

Loved it 🙂

I read the Song of Roland long ago and your poem brought it back. I dimly remember a horn being involved, his blowing it in warning before he died perhaps? Loved your poem for all that it evokes of that knight so bold and the telling and writing of it.
pax,
dora
