By the time Ariosto takes up the story, she's lost her brother and been kidnapped for her beauty more times than you really want to think about -- all she wants to do is get home and be done with it all.

A massive [[ChivalricRomance chivalric]] [[NarrativePoem epic poem]] in 46 cantos by Ludovico Ariosto, first published in 1516 and revised and expanded a couple of times, with its final form appearing in 1532. ''Orlando Furioso'' ("Mad Orlando" or "The Fury of Orlando") [[FanSequel continues and completes]] the story begun in the [[DiedDuringProduction unfinished]] but equally epic poem, ''Literature/OrlandoInnamorato'' ("Orlando In Love") by Matteo Maria Boiardo, Conte di Scandiano (1441-1494). Charlemagne (Carlo) is at war with the Saracens, and his paladin Orlando (Roland), the world's greatest knight (and hero of the French ''[[Literature/TheSongOfRoland Chanson de Roland]]''), goes mad from UnrequitedLove for the pagan princess [[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman Angelica]] of Cathay. Has a BetaCouple, which also consists of a pagan and a Christian: Ruggiero (Roger) of Risa and [[ActionGirl Bradamante]], the mythical ancestors of Boiardo's and Ariosto's employers, the Este family, ducal house of Ferrara.
The poem is not so much a ChivalricRomance as a {{Deconstruction}} of same, casting an [[DeconstructorFleet ironic eye on all the tropes and conventions]] of the genre, with Orlando's devotional love turning to madness being only the most obvious treatment. But Ariosto is more interested in entertaining than anything else, and succeeds at his task at [[{{Doorstopper}} great length]]. It was enormously influential in the centuries after it was written, influencing Tasso, [[Literature/TheFaerieQueene Spencer]], and [[Literature/ParadiseLost Milton]] to name the most famous. Creator/GustaveDore illustrated the poem in a memorable style.
