Line 81:
* [[Noble Demon]]: Baligant, Malprimes, Canabeus, Margariz.
* [[Plot Armor]]: When Oliver has lost so much blood that he can't tell friend from foe, he strikes and Roland, cutting his helmet from top to nosepiece. Roland is not injured in any way.
* [[Public Domain Artifact]]: Roland's sword ''Durandal''. An alleged fragment of Durandal is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durendal#/media/File:Rocam_durandal_082005.jpg driven into a cliff face] in the town of Rocamadour in Southwestern France.
* [[Right Makes Might]]: In the trial by combat at the end, it's explicitly stated that Pinabel, Ganelon's champion, is the taller and stronger man; one of his blows is enough to kill even the strongest knight. Charlemagne's champion, Thierry, is described as thin, wiry, and rather scrappy-looking. Nevertheless, Thierry survives a head-on blow from Pinabel, and then kills him with one stroke.
* [[Say Your Prayers]]: Upon learning that Saracens are approaching, Roland and his 20,000 knights hear mass and confess their sins. Both Roland and Olivier also dramatically confess their sins and pray to God as they die.
