Hello cousin!

Hi cousins !

You're still Special. Feel that from within.

Charlemagne is my great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandfather

Then you are from the special half of Europe

nice brother

What about Biggus Scrotumus?

Is he a Robertian like us Capetians? :D

Charles le magne Charles the main Carl the great, Karel de Grote Karl dem großen, Carolus Magnus. I guess his name should be German or Dutch since he was born in a Dutch speaking region in Germany.

@@Hooibeest2D his name should be whichever language you are speaking

if one travels back in time and calls him "Sharllemanjeh" guess who wouldn't feel adressed it was always "CAROLVS MAGNVS" in old documents/coin legends and its correct delatinized form is Karl de Grot(e) = Carl the Great

Pippin or Pepijn the short was a puppet, he didn't play a large roll in history. He was the grandson of Dagobert the late from Brabant. At least that's what you learn on Dutch schools.

@@Hooibeest2D I was just saying that I heard that he was actually really tall and it was kind of a sarcastic or comedic nickname.

It is a French production

To make it sounds fancy n pretentious

That is what the French have always done: they have had a tradition in appropriating historical figures and sell them as "French" to the world for centuries now, vide Marie Salomea Skłodowska, Frederic Chopin, Charles the Great (Frenchified "Charlemagne"), Clovis etc. etc.

@@paulee4927 They are French. Charles is a french name, you absolute 0 IQ brit.

For the absolute low IQ french haters in the comment sesction like this one: "Charles is a masculine given name predominantly found in English and French speaking countries. It is from the French form Charles of the Proto-Germanic name ᚲᚨᚱᛁᛚᚨᛉ (in runic alphabet) or *karilaz (in Latin alphabet), whose meaning was "free man"

I discovered the same through genealogy research about my ancestry :D I am descended from Charlemagne as well, as well as 3-4 saints so far and other roman emperors/French and English royalty and nobility. Kinda blew my mind a bit

The same here, blonde hair blue eyes. And no shit last name Magnus

he naughty naughty. why yall so obsessed over religion though?

We’re all related to Charlemagne, Genghis Khan and Groucho Marx…

Rape people just like he raped local cultures. Amazing how it spreads!

And England, William the conqueror was a descendant of charles the great, and the Viking Rollo

@@zacheryvorse8130 C'étais un Normand donc Français

These countries did'nt yet exist. It's really anachronistic.

You're right there. He was born in Aken an Region of Germany where they mostly spoke a form of Dutch at the time. So Carl the great would be better than Charles let main.

@@sauronmordor7494 he was as a German, actually had very little to do with France that we know today. Don't understand why he is called Charles le main and not carl the great or Karel de Grote.

Because France=Frankia,Francia

In the 3rd Reich, he was called the ancestor of France and the French, the SS division of the French was named after him

Clovis is king of France to this today and all you can do rage about it in your obes-se-bed by posting self-liked comments on YTB. Cope and cry.

I seriously doubt you can trace any direct lineage back to charlemagne

@Sergecalifornia King of the Franks, not king of France ! The first capetian to call himself " roi de Francie" instead of roi des Franciens was Philippe Auguste, dictus "Damnatio Memoriae" for having destroyed the Order of the Templar Knights, believing that their immense wealth was in form of gold monney, or cedit cards, instead of territorial goods, commanderies in the whole of Europe, hospitals, churches, refuges for the poor, that Phil shoud have all sold, one per one, to afford the necessary sum to pay his gargantuesque debts.

France did not exist. Charlemagne was king of the Franks.

@@thornil2231 Francia=Frankia=France

@@thornil2231 France from Latin Francia and this name was in his time

​@@thornil2231France et le nom moderne de franc faut pas être un génie pour le comprendre et ça change rien à l'histoire de France 😘

@@deyzacvincent3091 true, no need to be a genius... all it takes is basic knowledge and understanding of History... which obviously you do not have. King of the Franks and King of France is not the same thing. Sorry if you don't understand that.

He was french, since Clovis this kingdom was led by franks but it was a union of three ethnicities (gallo-Romans and franks) which is basic of France. The Frankish Kingdom is also known as Francia.

@@thomasp3428 but Clovis was 100% a Romanized Germanic as were the Franks. Yes half of the Frankish Empire/Francia was as you mentioned definitely a Gallo-Roman populace, though under that same Romano-Germanic rulership, and this, after the 843 Treaty of Verdun breaking up the empire, became first the West Frankish Kingdom or West Francia, and later the Kingdom of France. But the other half of the Frankish Empire / Francia was Germanic, including all the newly conquered lands like Saxony. After the 843 Treaty of Verdun this half became the Eastern Frankish Kingdom, which then became the Kingdom of the Germans, and eventually the Holy Roman Empire.

Franks' kingdom = France. No germany. Germany was a colonization of the franks's kingdom of Francia.

@@GeoPolitique., or the other way, considering that the Franks came from Western Germany/Benelux. They expanded into Gaul. Not from Gaul.

@@adamthetired9319 But their kingdom from Gaul ;)

Thanks for that. I was going to make the same comment.

The famous anthropologist Carlton Kuhn attributed most of the Franks and Alemanni to the Celtic type, which is a Nordic subtype containing a Dinaric and Alpine admixture, and is characterized by mesocephaly, a low arch, a protruding nose and darker pigmentation: «‎[The skeletal] series clearly demonstrate that the Franks were a moderately diverse group, but differing as a whole from the main North Germanic type from which they probably descended. Although individuals belong to this type, the Franks in general resemble the Celtic peoples who occupied Belgium and northern France before them. This similarity includes a total cranial index value of about 76 and a cranial arch height of 132 mm. There are no special differences in the size or shape of the skull between the Merovingian Franks and the local Celts, except for one important fact: instead of falling into the range between the Celts and other Germans, according to many metric criteria, the Franks are slightly superior to the Celts themselves. This is true for facial

The Franks were Celts

Charlemagne's parents are from the north of France

French hands are in constant pain . From patting themselves on the back . It's not just them the Spanish too .

They're French.

@@oriraykai3610 Thank you

France can find its roots with Clovis when he became King of the Franks in 481 and Converted the country to catholicism, that s french history, you can t make your own history ;)

@@houlala16 Yes, of course - and Clovis spoke French, I suppose. Please leave history to historians and stop getting your knowledge from anachronistic nationalist books. By the way: following your logic, Arminius was the first "King of Germany", Cerdic the first "King of Great Britain" and Liuvigild the first "King of Spain". 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Aachen was called in French Aix la Chapelle

Demand your money back!

He was prolific. So many are descended from him. Something to be proud of.

I'm a descendant of Robert the Bruce

@@aquastar4336 Are the Stuarts descended from this great man?

You and me and 1/2 of the rest of the world!!!

As someone in 2020 he's seems like a piece of shit, but for his time he really wasn't.

Carolinguian

​@@guib6055 I think these are named after Carloman. Not after Charlomagne. Those two were brothers.

@@patriciajrs46 were just making fun of his pronunciation lady

Charlemagne Was Portuguese 🇵🇹

Clovis is King of France.

Yeah but the French and German were distinct people.

Very good point, Thomas. Charlemagne himself chose his capitol as Aachen where Frankish/Ripuarish dialects are spoken to this day. Charlemagne's son, Louis the Pious, was the first Frankish king to settle permanently in what is now known as France...

Actually it's not. You just don't understand history.

That's not true. Every French king claimed inheritance from Clovis. Germans with late XIXth century nationalism and creation of their new nation-state claimed inheritance on something they had no business on. Otto dynasties are not Franks. There's a clear Frankish continuity before and after in France.

Germany already did exist back then already, only not as a unified nationstate. While the history of pre-France begins with the conquest of Gaul by the Germanic tribe called the Franks.

Non la France commence sous clovis France et le nom moderne de franc faut pas être un génie pour le comprendre

@@deyzacvincent3091 You cann call it whatever you want. In English it's called the Frankish Empire. In German it's called 'das Frankenreich. The Frankish Empire of Charlemagne included France, West Germany, parts of Italy, as well as the Netherlands and Belgium. France is just France.

The name France is named after the Franks. That is where the name comes from.

@@schuylerleithulfr788 yes, but it still wasn't "France." Charlemagne spoke Frankish German. There is no "Kingdom of France" before 987.

@@anthonykaiser974 No, I completely agree. The Franks and Charlemagne were Germanic. But I just wanted to remind you.

@@anthonykaiser974 The French Monarchy claimed heritage from Charlemagne. You are right but it is a sort of allegorical thing.

He was french because hé was a frank and not a german hé is thé succesor of clovis 1er his empire was « frankish empire»and not german empire frank was the old name of the french

@@tsm_nael7711 Excuse me, but your history is flawed. The Franks were a "Germanic" tribe. The word "french" may derive from it, but to call the "Franks" French is absurd.

Why not? They say Rollo was 2 meters, or 6' 5".

They're French. Not canadians nor americans.

Yes and his language isn’t related to the French language at all haha. Frankish dialects were Germanic languages!

@@jeffm902 He spoke Latin

@@jeffm902 Its language is closer to Flemish, which is common in northern France

@@user-gz8we9hm2j he spoke an old form of German and was born and lived in Aachen

Ok nazi. Clovis is our first french king. You're not inheritors from the Franks nor Charlemagne nor crusaders. Cry and cope. You call France = Frankreich. cope and cry.

Amen ⚔️

They had the choice of being executed for their crimes or converting to Christianity. The barbarians like Saxons would have unceremoniously executed them. You were saying?

@@oriraykai3610 forced conversions of populations

What were the Saxons then?

@@oriraykai3610saxons were and are different from the gallo-romans or carolingians, and a fact is that charlemagne had no difficulty in applying his laws as saxons and franks were practically the same people, but the gallo romans were the descendants of the romans in gaul

OK good I'm not the only one seeing that.

Franconian did not exist

The term "Franks" still causes discussions among historians and philologists. It is first found in the form of Lat. francus.

Ja Kaiser von Frankreich

Aachen of French origin, former Aix-la-Chapelle, Charlemagne spoke Latin, there was no German when the empire was divided, the main language was Old French, it was written during the partition agreement

The coin of the Frankish kingdom was a denier, it is a medieval French coin, there is nothing German in the Frankish kingdom

Francia=Franken=Frankia

Charlemagne's parents are from northern France and southern Belgium, he is of French descent

De Franken waren niet Duits, zij spraken oorspronkelijk een taal die ook bekend staat als Oud-Hollands. Het grootste Frankische grafveld, de grafheuvels op de Donderberg bij Rhenen die 1.100 Frankische graven bevat, bevind zich dan ook in Nederland. Tevens is in Nederland bij Dorestad de grootste Karolingische muntenschat gevonden. Je kunt dus zeggen dat de Franken Nederlanders waren. Echter, Karel de Grote is in noord Gallië geboren, dus in Frankrijk, dat maakt hem Frans. Tevens verkozen de Franken duidelijk de Gallisch-Romaansche cultuur, religie (het Christendom) en taal boven die van de "Germanen" en voerden juist oorlog tegen de Duitse Saksen. En zoals hierboven al vermeld was Aken oorspronkelijk Aix-la-Chapelle een Romeinse nederzetting in noord Gallië. In moderne termen kun je zeggen; Charlemagne was een Fransman van Nederlandse afkomst die een hekel had aan Duitsers.

France=Frankia=Francia

@@adrienrabiot3624 Fränkisch empire was also the origin of Germany, so not only France

@@KarlMartell732 Just a little bit of the west and the area where Bavaria

Clovis is considered our first king centuries before Charlemagne.
