Sources for the story teller: 

    Baldwin, James.  The story of Roland.

Some of the many legends of French chivalry that cluster around the names of Charlemagne and Roland, translated into English prose and woven into a story with Roland as the center of interest.  The main incidents have been derived from a variety of sources, but the arrangement and connecting parts are the author’s own invention, making the whole an acceptable and interesting version.

    Church, A.J.  Stories of Charlemagne.

The old tales shortened and compressed but still retaining life and color and reflecting the spirit of the times.  Five of the legends which are distinct in themselves have been used.  “The four sons of Aymon,” “Ralph, the Collier,” “Fireabras,” “The song of Roland,” and “Duke Huon of Bordeaux.”
