* [[Fridge Logic]]: Charlemagne is described as 200 years old. His sister's son Roland can't be more than 30. How exactly does that work?
* [[Marty Stu]]: There exists another ''chanson de geste'' called ''[http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Galiens_li_Restorés:Galiens li Restorés|Galiens li Restores]]'' ("Galien the Restituted") about a [[Remember the New Guy|son]] Oliver had with [[Special Snowflake Syndrome|a princess of Constantinople]], [[Mary Tzu|whose presence at Roncevaux helps Roland and Oliver rout the Saracens]] and who later becomes Emperor of Constantinople.
* [[Narm]]: Having the hero die not from getting killed in battle but from blowing a horn hard enough that his skull bursts is a little hard for modern audiences to take seriously.
