European Legendary Tales

The Twelve Peers of Charlemagne. Led by Roland, they were immortalized after the treacherous defeat at the Battle of Ronceveaux of which the Songs of Roland were born.

I believe they were also referred to as the Twelve Companions and the plot predates the Arthurian Knights of the Round Table.
