@Valeth Actually, Astolpho is also a more or less modern addition.

The Charlemagne legend/Matter Of France is told in “songs,” the most famous song being the “Song of Rolando,” where all the 12 paladins were named them being;Rolando, Oliver, Anseis, Berenger, Engeler, Gerard of Roussillon, Gerer, Gerin, Oton, Samson, Yvoire, and Yvon.

And no, neither Astolpho or Bradamante were “canonized” or “acknowledged” as the paladins of Charlemagne since they basically became popular in the renaissance era, centuries after the Charlemagne legend stopped being popular. In fact, I don’t even think that they’re actually popular enough to become heroic spirits (although, Orlando Innamorato and Orlando Furioso, were exceptionally popular in the renaissance era).

They’re basically only heroic spirits because the Fate series heavily relies on waifus, or at least crossdressers.
