In Roncesvalles the Basques defeated the Charlemagne army by attacking the heart. The men of the Franco king ravaged Pamplona in the race after the defeat of Zaragoza.

To respond to the massacre, the Basques organized themselves and with the guerrilla tactics prepared an ambush for the French soldiers. The emperor, until Aachen, escaped at full speed upon being documented.

For years it has been said that the zaguán was attacked by the Basques, but historian Xabier Irujo 778: The battle of Errozábal, working in its historical context, investigating the original sources, refuted it. Here you can hear your speech and here is the ETB program Itxi liburua. The work of Irujo is largely due to the discovery of the Roman road by the archaeology department of Aranzadi and, in particular, to the discovery of Martínez de Choperena.
