Al Haines "Stories of Charlemagne and the Twelve Peers of France: From the Old Romances" by Rev. A. J. Church is a historical collection inspired by Romantic literature written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the legendary tales surrounding Charlemagne, his court, and his legendary warriors, focusing particularly on the exploits of the Twelve Peers, including characters such as Reynaud and Roland. It juxtaposes the historically notable King Charlemagne with the larger-than-life figures created through medieval romance, showcasing the themes of honor, valor, and feudal loyalty within the context of chivalric adventure. At the start of the story, King Charles holds a court in Paris during Pentecost, where he expresses his displeasure with Duke Benes, who has offended him by failing to support his military campaigns. He sends his son Lothair to demand tribute, but upon arriving at Aygremont, Lothair is met with hostility from Benes, leading to a fierce battle that results in Lothair's death. This event incites a series of conflicts, as Reynaud and his brothers rally against King Charles's wrath and navigate the treacherous political landscape filled with vengeance, loyalty, and cunning. The opening sets up an epic narrative of feudal relationships and heroic deeds, promising tales of valor and betrayal as various parties vie for power and recognition.
