High up in the Pyrenees, there is a gap in the mountains. More than 90 metres tall and 39 metres wide, Roland"s Breach, featured here today, is a sight to behold. But who was Roland? Count Roland was a Frankish military leader during Charlemagne"s reign in the 8th century. Legend has it that, after being defeated in battle, Roland cut a gap in the mountains—either to destroy his sword or to catch one last glimpse of France.
