Anno Domini 778 Karlo MAgno Quam Maximo Poterat Belli apparatu Adgreditur Hispaniam
Pyreneis Superatu In summi Montis Wascones vertice positis insiddis exercitum tuebatur desuper incursates subjectuam vallem deiciunt consertoque con eis proellio usque at unum omnes interficium a. EINHARD VIT CAROLI IMPERATORIS

( Latin translation:
Charlemagne went with the largest war machine to invade Spain.
Across he Pyreness, in the mountains, Basques came rushing down on the troops, forced them down to the valley beneath. Joined battle with them and killed to the last man.
Einhard, Secretary of the Emperor Charlemagne.)

In the summer of 778 after a difficulkt campaign in Spain, Charlemagne and the whole of his Franskish army was retreating through a pass in the Pyrenees mountains. There his rearguard was cut down and massacred by Basques.
Hundreds of years later the action at Roncesvalles was transformed into the XI Century crusading propaganda and French epic poem " La Chanson de Rolan"

  • Qué bella música y con las imágenes me transporté a aquellos tiempos míticos. Fantástico. No sé de euskera nada, pero me declaro un sincero admirador de vuestra cultura y bella lengua.

  • Hola alxazazel, cualquier persona que demuestre su sincera admiración por nuestra cultura y tenga nuestra lengua en tan bonita consideración es igualmente digno de entusiasmo y estará siempre bienvenido.

    Eskerrik asko!
