  Doon de Mayence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Doon de Mayence was a fictional hero of the Old French chansons de geste, who gives his name to the third cycle of the Charlemagne romances, those dealing with the feudal revolts.
The rebellious barons are connected by the poets with Doon by imaginary genealogical ties, and all are represented as in opposition to Charlemagne, though their adventures, in so far as they possess a historical basis, must generally be referred to earlier or later periods than the reign of the great emperor.
The tradition of a traitorous family of Mayence, which was developed in Italy into a series of stories of criminals, appeared later than the Carolingian cycle, for an interpolator in the Chronicle of Fredegar states (iv.

 JewishEncyclopedia.com - AMRAM OF MAYENCE (MENTZ):   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
As his end drew near, he expressed to his pupils the desire to be buried with his fathers in Mayence, but fearing obstacles, they hesitated to promise to fulfil his wishes.
Then the saint appeared in a vision to his pupils in Cologne, and told them to have his body taken at midnight while the watchmen were asleep, and to put another corpse in its place; which they did.
This legend was still narrated at the beginning of the nineteenth century as an actual occurrence; and a pictorial representation on an old house near one of the gates of Mayence, close to the shore of the river, was shown to illustrate the fact.

 Doon de Mayence - LoveToKnow 1911
The rebellious barons are connected by the trouveres with Doon by imaginary genealogical ties, and all are represented as in opposition to Charlemagne, though their adventures, in so far as they possess a historical basis, must generally be referred to earlier or later periods than the reign of the great emperor.
The tradition of a traitorous family of Mayence, which was developed in Italy into a series of stories of criminals, was however anterior to the Carolingian cycle, for an interpolator in the chronicle of Fredegarius states (iv.
The latter half of the poem, the story of Doon's wars in Saxony, is perhaps based on historical events, but the earlier half, which is really a separate romance dealing with his romantic childhood, is obviously pure fiction and dates from the 13th century.

 "Forward-March!" a photographic memorial of World War I
In accordance with the terms of the Armistice, the Allies were to occupy all German territory west of the Rhine, with bridgeheads of 30 kilometer radius at Cologne, Coblenz, and Mayence.
The zone assigned the American command was the bridgehead of Coblenz and the district of Treves.
