		Einhard describes his life up until his deeds in Spain; the rest was completed by archbishop Turpin, who was always at his side, and therefore was fully informed about everything that happened, until the emperor died.
		Here begins the life and noble deeds of the glorious prince Charles the Great, written and arranged partly by the hand of Einhard, and partly by Turpin, the archbishop of Rheims, both of whom were with him through all his deeds at various times, and were witnesses of his life and of his conversation.
		The point understandably escpaed Einhard in his famous description of the last Merovingians trundling round their estates in their ox-wagons, for he could not see behind them to the Gallo-Roman Governors doing their rounds in the angariae of the cursus clabularis, the imperial slow-post." Early Medieval History, New York, 1976, p.

	TURPIN (OF REIMS) - LoveToKnow Article on TURPIN (OF REIMS)
		According to Flodoard, Charles Martsl drove Rigobert, archbishop of Reims, from his office and replaced him by a warrior clerk named Milo, afterwards bishop of Trier.
		Hincmar, who composed his epitaph, makes him bishop for over forty years, and from this it is evident that he was elected abcut 753, and Flodoard says that he died in the forty-seventh year of his archbishopric.
		He is probably identical with Tilpin, archbishop of Reims in the 8th century, who is alluded to by Hincmar, his third successor in the see.

		Tilpin was elected archbishop between 752 and 768, probably in 753; he died, if the evidence of a diploma alluded to by Mabillon may be trusted, in 794, although it has been stated that this event took place on the 2nd of September 800.
		He is probably identical with Tilpin, archbishop of Reims in the 8th century, who is alluded to by Hincmar, his third successor in the see.

	Medieval Sourcebook: The Song of Roland [O'Hagan Translation)
		Thither the Gascon Engelier sped; "I go," said Turpin, "I pledge my head;" "And I with thee," Count Walter said; "I am Roland's man, to his service bound." So twenty thousand knights were found.
		When Roland saw his coming foes, All proud and stern his spirit rose; Alive he shall never be brought to yield: Veillantif spurred he across the field, With golden spurs he pricked him well, To break the ranks of the infidel; Archbishop Turpin by his side.
		Roland and Olivier then are seen To lash and hew with their falchions keen; With his lance the archbishop thrusts and slays, And the numbers slain we may well appraise; In charter and writ is the tale expressed Beyond four thousand, saith the geste.

	25. Ogier, the Dane (Continued). Vol. IV: Legends of Charlemagne. Bulfinch, Thomas. 1913. Age of Fable
		Ogier’s imprisonment lasted long; Charlemagne was astonished to hear, from time to time, that he still held out; and when he inquired more particularly of Turpin, the good Archbishop, relying on his own understanding of the words, did not hesitate to affirm positively that he allowed his prisoner no more than the permitted ration.
		Turpin remembered, moreover, that Ogier was a true son of the Church, always zealous to propagate the faith and subdue unbelievers; so he felt justified in practising on this occasion what in later times has been entitled “mental reservation,” without swerving from the letter of the oath which he had taken.
		Ogier returned covered with glory to the court of Charlemagne, and the Emperor, touched with this proof of his attachment, loaded him with caresses, and treated him almost as an equal.

	Comparative Arts: A CyberEd Course: Part 4: Medieval Music: P.2
		A martial atmosphere surrounds the characters, including the fighting Archbishop Turpin as well as the Archangels Gabriel and Michael who, like the Valkyries in the German epic Song of the Nibelungs, swoop down on the battlefield to bear the souls of fallen warriors to heaven.
		A chanson de geste is a "song of deeds," an action story in poetic form sung by a minstrel to the accompaniment of a viol or lyre, an epic poem in Old French the medieval vernacular language of France, rather than in Latin.
		The Song of Roland is thus a direct-action story, set in the time of Charlemagne and relating incidents from the campaign in northern Spain where that Emperor had been battling the pagan Saracens for seven long years.

	Why I play a Paladins (Copy from another site)
		But the Paladins also contained within their ranks some unlikely candidates for paladinhood, including: Archbishop Turpin (who is clearly not a warrior, but a priest); Ganelon, the traitor who would ultimately betray them all; and the strangest of the bunch, Malagigi the Enchanter.
		Also known as Maugris or Mangis, Malagigi was, according to the stories, raised by a fairy named Oriande, and thus learned to become a great wizard.
		On various occasions, he summons up demons and compels them to give him information, pulls out his spellbook and charms giants into sleep, and flies through the air on magical creatures.

	Legends and Romances of Spain: I. The Source of Spanish Romance
		A Spanish priest of the early twelfth century wrote the fabulus chronicle of Archbishop Turpin of Rheims, which purported to be the work of that warlike cleric, but in reality was intended to popularize the pilgrimage to Compostella to which it had reference.
		From the period of the defeat of Roderic, "last of the Visigoths," at the battle of Xerez de la Frontera in 711 until the fall of Granada in 1492, Spain was indeed a land of battles.
		Some of them are, indeed, romances or cantares de gesta in title, and in fact they deal with all the great subjects sung of in the cantares or prosed upon in the chronicles, such as the Cid, Bernaldo de Carpio, Count Alarcos and so forth.

	Bulfinch's Mythology, Legends of Charlemagne, Chapter 15: Astolpho in Abyssinia.
		Astolpho took his bottle, put it to his nose, and inhaled it all; and Turpin assures us that he was for a long time afterwards as sage as one could wish; but the Archbishop adds, that there was reason to fear that some of the precious fluid afterwards found its way back into the bottle.
		While the guests were seated at table, Astolpho filling the place of dignity at the king's right hand, the horrid scream of the Harpies was heard in the air, and soon they approached, hovering over the tables, seizing the food from the dishes, and overturning everything with the flapping of their broad wings.
		Astolpho, having recruited his strength, not only by these excellent fruits, but also by sweet sleep, roused himself at the first blush of dawn, and, as soon as he left his chamber, met the beloved Apostle coming to seek him.

		Charles, who was the eldest, was crowned in the city of Noion, and Carloman, the younger, in the city of Soissons [Both were crowned 9 oct 768] After his coronation, Charles went to Aix-la-Chapelle, celebrating the Nativity there, and the Resurrection in the city of Rouen.
		Meanwhile, the part of his army that Charles had left at the Weser, in a place called Hudbeki, was betrayed by the trickery and malice of their enemies, particularly because they did not behave as cautiously as they should have in the presence of dangerous enemies.

	SparkNotes: Song of Roland: Summary
		The wise and moderate Olivier and the fierce archbishop Turpin are among the men Roland picks to join him.
		Almost all his men are dead and Roland knows that it's now too late for Charlemagne and his troops to save them, but he blows his oliphant anyway, so that the emperor can see what happened to his men and avenge them.
		Seeing how badly outnumbered they are, Olivier asks Roland to blow on his oliphant, his horn made out of an elephant tusk, to call for help from the main body of the Frankish army.
