The rearguard of Charlemagne's army, including the legendary paladin Roland, is mercilessly annihilated in this fateful encounter.
The image conveys a sense of urgency and chaos as the two forces clash amidst the rugged terrain of the Pyrenees. The historical significance of this event is palpable, as it marked a turning point in Charlemagne's campaign in Spain and had far-reaching consequences for both France and Spain.
