12th PALADIN Ganelon the Traitor. An another nephew of Charlemagne, he's said to have led Roland and the paladins to their demise by plotting the fatal ambush of roncevaux... His holy sword was called Murgleis "Death brand" said to be the sharpest of all blades.
Tumblr media
For the longest time in french tradition "Ganelon" was considered the most heinous and archetypal representation of treachery, His name itself becoming an insult. Even in Dantes inferno ganelon is at the bottom of hell in cocytus for what is considered the greatest of sins.

He also has 2 barrels of Balm that are supposed to belong to the christ himself! he uses it to heal his opponent before a duel so they can fight to their utmost capacity!

5th PALADIN Astolfo was a prince of england. He is considered the absolute weakest, stupidest and hottest paladin. He is frequently under estimated but when it counts the madman pulls it off, and who knows he might even save the whole kingdom from total destruction once or twice.

1st of Charlemagne's Paladins! Roland/Orlando. Roland was the most famous and renown of the paladins. Known to have incredible strength and diamond skin. He was also the wielder of Durandal, a legendary sword matched only by the likes of Excalibur. Roland was Strong and Loyal but he also had a very violent and radical side to him, a side that would lead him to madness.
