 | | The poem of Renaus de Montauban opens with the story of the dissensions between Charlemagne and the Sons of Doon of Mayence, Beuves dAigremont, Doon de Nanteuil and Aymon de Dordone. |
 | | The rebellious vassals are defeated by the imperial army near Troyes, and, peace established, Aymon rises in favor at court, and supports the emperor, even in his persecution of his four sons, Renaud, Alard, Guichard and Richard. |
 | | Yon, however, is compelled by Charlemagne to withdraw his protection, and the castle of Montauban, which the brothers have built on the Dordogne, is besieged by the emperor. |
