Abstract: The Entrée d’Espagne, from the first half of the fourteenth century, first presents Roland, Charlemagne’s nephew, as Roman Senator. The source of that title derives from political usage of that time as well as from Classical Roman tradition through literary historiography, and illustrates aspects of a Roman Senator’s responsibilities in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. For this reason Roland and his story appeals to the courts of Italian cities similarly structured, whose members aspire to such a role.
