[...] Sending for Wineman and Rapoto, Karl said to them: "Take the place of Roland, who so often served the Empire well and whom I sorely miss today. Wineman, good warrior, take Durendart [which is supposed to be up in heaven -vz]. Rapoto, you will blow Olivant [which is broken by now -vz] - the heathens will not be happy to hear its voice. The two of you will have thirty thousand men of your own choosing. Defend well the honor of the Empire." Both warriors were very pleased.
