Sections CCLXIII-CCLXVII

The text establishes that the pagan forces flee as divinely ordained, and Charlemagne commands his Franks to pursue and avenge their comrades' deaths, resulting in a chase where few pagans escape alive.

Bramimunde witnesses the rout from Sarraguce's tower and calls upon Mahume for aid, mourning the defeat of her troops and the death of the admiral in a doomed cause.

Upon hearing of the complete defeat, Marsile grieves and dies of sorrow, and his corrupt soul is taken to Hell by devils as divine punishment.

Charlemagne breaches Sarraguce's gates, occupies the city unopposed, and Bramimunde surrenders her towers, establishing Charles's dominion over the fortress.

Charlemagne orders the destruction of pagan temples and idols throughout Sarraguce, wielding the destruction as an act of Christian piety and divine service.

The king enforces Christian baptism through coercion and threats of death, resulting in the conversion of over 100,000 pagans, with the exception of Bramimunde who is taken captive to be converted through love.

Charles leaves a thousand knights to garrison Sarraguce, then departs with Bramimunde as prisoner and carries the bodies of Roland, Oliver, and the Archbishop back to Christian lands as honored relics.

The corpses of Roland, Oliver, and the Archbishop are reverently placed in white coffins at the church of Saint Romain, where the faithful commend their souls to God and His angels.

Charlemagne travels back to his capital of Aix without stopping elsewhere, dismounts at his palace, and immediately summons judges from across his realm to bring forth the case against Ganelon.
