The poem is a collection of various subplots. They first begin with the quest of beautiful Angelica by love-smitten Orlando (better known as Rolando). Then comes the defense of Albracca by Angelica's father, the King of Cathay, against the beleaguering Tartars. And ''then'' with the Moors' siege of Paris and their struggle with Charlemagne's army.

!!Tropes found in ''Orlando Innamorato'':
* BloodKnight: Ruggerio is a lover of combat. {{Exploited}} by Brunello when he asks for his horse armor, seeing some war games beyond of a wall of glass.
* BullyingADragon: The thief Brunello not only takes Angelica's magic rings but also Sacripante's horse ''and'' Marfisa's sword. Marfisa goes ''ballistic'' at this slight and chases down Brunello. Ultimately, he manages to get away with this.
* ManipulativeBastard: Brunello goads Ruggiero out of Atlante's enchanted garden by proposing he and Agramante told a tournament of champion right outside. [[BloodKnight Ruggerio]] falls for it hook, line, and sinker.
* {{Revenge}}: The Saracen king Agramante wants to invade and beat Charlemagne himself to avenge his father Troiano, [[YouKilledMyFather previously killed by Orlando]].
* WellIntentionedExtremist: The sorcerer Atlante foresaw the death of Ruggerio and confined him to a garden of illusions to keep him safe.
