Roland, Bradamante, and Charlemagne in Fate/Grand Order: Epic of Remnant - Agartha.
The Twelve Paladins of CharlemagneWP (シャルルマーニュ十二勇士, Sharurumānyu Jūni Yūshi?) are the group of knights serving under Charlemagne, also known as Charles the Great, who were only selected from the most excellent of candidates.
Characteristics[]
Charlemagne and Astolfo in combat.
They are a group of knights similar to the Knights of the Round Table of King Arthur, and their exact numbers and members differ depending upon which documents are used to reference them. Those like Astolfo, Roland, and OliverWP are confirmed among these uncertainties.[1] All members are famed for their strength with the exception of Astolfo who is famed as "weak" according to the legends.[2]
It is said that as Merlin stepped down from the era of King Arthur, he then helped the twelve Paladins.[3]
Most of the Paladins died in the Battle of Roncevaux PassWP against Roland's stepfather GanelonWP and an enemy army of 400,000 men, against the Paladins' own 20,000. Although Charlemagne arrived with reinforcements, he wasn't able to reach the Paladins in time.[4]
Charlemagne's Noble Phantasm Joyeuse Ordre represents the bond of the Paladins by firing simultaneous beams from all of their weapons.[5]

The knights of Charlemagne (Charles the Great) who Astolfo served under, for which only the most excellent people were selected to join. They are similar to the Knights of the Round Table in King Arthur’s legend, and the number and members of the Paladins differ depending on the documents which reference them. Among these uncertainties, Astolfo is also definitely confirmed to be one of the Paladins, and other members such as Roland, famed for being the wielder of Durandal, and Oliver, who wielded Hauteclaire, boast of great popularity and renown.
Roland felt in love with a beautiful queen known as Angelica, but due to being a proud woman, she rejected the idea of falling in love with a mere soldier and eloping with him, and so Roland went mad, throwing off all his clothes as he began rampaging around while completely naked. Concerned for him, Astolfo and the other Paladins worked hard to capture him and gave him a bottle of reason brought from the moon, thereby restoring his sanity. Astolfo’s current appearance is connected to how he dressed up as a girl during this episode.シャルルマーニュ十二勇士【組織】
