The Subjunctive in the Chanson de Roland by Frank Emil Lodeman, 1892, Page 40

Those sentences in which the conditional clause is replaced by a relative clause with ki, have been noted under "Relative Clauses". Many examples also occur of the subjunctive in conditional sentences, where either the condition or the conclusion have been omitted. When the conditional or dependent clause is omitted, the verb in the remaining independent clause, if subjunctive, may be classified under "Potential Subjunctive", in independent sentences. 
Condition Omitted.
3388. La Veissez la tere si junchiec.
See also: 349, 355, 455, 1458, 1622.
Conclusion Omitted.
440. Ferir l'en volt, se n'en fust desturnez.
See also: 1466, 3164.
Generally, conditional sentences with the conclusion omitted, are introduced by relative pronouns.

234. Saveir i ad, mais qu'il seit entenduz.
