Roland was a marquis in Nantes and the nephew of Charles the Great, who's also known as King Charlemagne. It's said the king's sister was ousted from the palace for being pregnant out of wedlock. She gave birth to Roland in a certain town and then raised him. When the king stayed in the town where Roland lived, they met by chance and Roland became one of his retainers.

2. A sword from an angel
Roland really was amazing, don't you think? His trusted sword Durandal was given to him by an angel. He then presented it to the king, but Charlemagne refused and returned it to him saying, "I want you to protect yourself with this blade." Roland was deeply moved, so he decided to put his life on the line from thereafter on behalf on the king.

Like in the "Song of Roland", he battled to the end without fleeing, but died carrying out his duty.
