>we wuz Franks and shit

The matter of France with Charlemagne and his paladins, mostly Roland and Oliver. It used to enjoy similar renoun as the Arthurian cycle, but didn't benefit from the same contemporary revival as its British counterpart. However modern fantasy does take inspiration from it to an extent, seeing as it invented the concept of paladins.

Kalevala is Russian

No, but the Matter of France was really written in French by inhabitants of France, for inhabitants of France. You had no hand in it, so claiming it as your national epic would be pretty cringe.
