Basque Ferocity
At the Battle of Roncesvalles in 778, a Basque ambush annihilated the Frankish rearguard of Charlemagne and killed Count Roland of Brittany, a feat that has lived in European memory through the Chanson de Roland. The Catalan Company under Roger de Flor, recruited largely from Navarrese and Aragonese mountaineers, carved a path of terror through the Byzantine Empire in 1303 and held the Duchy of Athens for three generations. This reputation for ferocity precedes our infantry into every theater, granting Navarrese commanders a psychological advantage before the first volley is fired.
