Given Gaiman, “Charles Rowland” is more likely referencing The Song of Roland than the Steven King Dark Tower series that also gives a nod to this same source.
From wikipedia: it is “an 11th-century chanson de geste based on the Frankish military leader Roland at the Battle of Roncevaux Pass in AD 778, during the reign of the Carolingian king Charlemagne.”
