History analyst and author Mario Arndt writes about topics you won't find in traditional history books. He's from Germany (* 1963) and now lives in Thailand. His analyses of official history reveal how the Middle Ages, the ancient world, and the associated chronologies were fabricated and forged. His professional background in IT as a software developer enables him to develop a completely new understanding of the official version of history and to discover what really happened in the past. He has published eight books since 2012. Website: www.HistoryHacking.net

Charlemagne - The Made-Up Emperor
Charles’ absence in the High Middle Ages
The first Carolingian is considered to be Charles Martel (c. 688 - 741), who from 715 was the mayor of the palace (head of the administration) of the sub-kingdom of Austrasia and from 718 the mayor of the palace of the entire kingdom and thus the de facto ruler of the Frankish kingdom. Charles Martel is the first ruler with the name Charles that is documented in written sources.
Charlemagne was then the second ruler and first king of the Carolingians from 768. In 800 he was crowned emperor by the Pope in Rome. He was followed by other Kings of the Carolingian dynasty named Charles.
Emperor Charles III (876-887), the Fat, was the last Carolingian king named Charles in the East Frankish Empire. The last Carolingian king ever named Charles was Charles III (898-923), the Simple, king of the West Frankish Empire. At the beginning of the 11th century, the dynasty of the Carolingians ended in male legitimate line.
The next French-born king with the name Charles was Charles I of Anjou (1226-1285), King of Sicily from the Capetian dynasty, more than 300 years later. He is considered to be the last-born son of the French King Louis VIII (1187-1226), although the exact circumstances of his birth are disputed.

In the East Franconian and Roman-German noble houses, not only was there not a single king named Charles during the High Middle Ages, no, not a single member of a ruling dynasty has the name Charles. Not a single Conradine, Ottone, Salian, Guelph, Nassau, Wittelsbach, Habsburg, Luxembourg or Hohenstaufen, etc., has the name Charles until the Roman-German King Charles IV (born 1316).
The name Charles is missing after the Carolingian kings in the 10th century, which is inexplicable for official history. And this even with a popular, Germanic name, which Charles is supposed to be according to official history!
Prior to the author, only A. Bach noticed the strange absence of the name Charles (Karl) after the early Middle Ages. Among the 1000 students of the University of Cologne in the 14th and 15th centuries, for example, he does not find a single Charles (Karl) [Bach 1943, p. 351].
Until the beginning of the 17th century, the name Charles seems to have been given only sporadically. Bach can only detect a growing popularity of the name Charles after 1610, following the canonisation of another Charles, the Cardinal of Milan Charles Borromeo.
Charlemagne was both king and emperor as well as a saint (canonised by the Catholic Church). So why is his name found so late after the end of the Carolingians?
The doubled Charles as an error of chronology
- King Charles I of the Franks, also called “the Great”, dies in 814, and King Charles I of Anjou, also called “the Great”, also regent of France, dies in 1285 (distance 471 years).
- King Charles I of the Franks, also called “the Great”, is crowned by the Pope in Rome at Christmas 800, and King Charles I of Anjou, also called “the Great”, also Regent of France, is crowned by the Pope in Rome at (orthodox) Christmas 1266 (466 years apart).
After the division of the Frankish Empire in 843, Louis from Bavaria reigned as East Frankish king for 33 years (called Louis II, the German), with a successor named Charles. And from 1314, Louis from Bavaria reigns as Roman-German king for 33 years, with a successor named Charles. There are also 471 years between 843 and 1314.
This leads to the suspicion that the two Kings Charles and the two Kings Louis of Bavaria could be the same person. Other parallels are also important - see Fig. 77.
Fig. 77: The parallels at 466/471 year intervals in the 8th-10th and 13th-14th centuries. Above Rome/Italy and Frankish Empire, below Rome/Italy and Holy Roman Empire
These parallels end in the Frankish Empire in 929, when the West Frankish king Charles III dies. This is also exactly when the French system of royal names begins with the 3 x 131 years.
Exactly 471 years later, in 1400, the Roman-German king Wenceslas was deposed. This is a namesake of his predecessor Charles IV, whose birth name was also Wenceslas. Interestingly, King Charles III, who lived 471 years earlier, was also deposed, six years before his death.
One year before Ludwig IV became king, in 1313, the Roman-German system of kings’ names, which began in 911, came to an end. The king who reigned before that was also a Louis from Bavaria, also numbered IV.
Furthermore, there are other striking parallels in a similar time interval [Arndt 2020/1], also in Ethiopian history. For the Ethiopian history, O. Neugebauer had already proven an error in the chronology. In Ethiopian history, dates of identical rulers are repeated at intervals of 456 years.
[Neugebauer, S. 55]
If we consider a different year for the creation of the world than assumed in the previous calculations, the Ethiopian error of chronology also results in a difference of 471 years.
It will be shown later that the most important calendar eras of antiquity are coordinated according to a clear plan. The number 529 plays a decisive role in this.
The dating of the years of death of Charlemagne (814) and Charles I of Anjou (1285), which differ by 471 years, as well as the beginning of the reign of King Louis II (843) and King Louis IV (1314), results from the numbers 529 and 1000 as follows:
814 + 1000 – 529 = 1285 resp. 1285 – 1000 + 529 = 814, und
843 + 1000 – 529 = 1314 resp. 1314 – 1000 + 529 = 843.
All these doublings at intervals of 456-476 years obviously have their cause in the construction of calendar eras and thus chronology.
In some countries, these duplicates were then given written sources so that they now appear as two different persons/events in the history books of official history, such as Charlemagne and Charles I of Anjou.
This did not happen in Ethiopia, for example, so that today no one doubts that they are one and the same person and the duplication is only a chronological error.
Charles I of Valois
Charles I of Valois (1270-1325) is the progenitor of the House of Valois, and thus of all the kings of France from 1328 (Philip VI) to 1589. According to official history, he was (titular) Emperor of Constantinople, (titular) King of Aragon, temporary Regent of France, as well as Governor in Italy, etc.
He gladly and often waged war in all the territories mentioned. This is a common characteristic of him and Charlemagne as well as Charles I of Anjou.
The great-grandmother of Charles I of Valois was called Blanche and came from Spain (both grandfather and great-grandfather are called Louis). According to the legend of “Flor and Blancheflor”, Blancheflor was the grandmother of Charlemagne and came from Spain.
Blanche of Castile was the wife of King Louis the Lion (1187-1226), with whom, according to official history, the Carolingian revival began - and he became the father of the first Charles.
Blanche is the mother of Charles I of Anjou, the first Charles after the Carolingians, who is thus great uncle of Charles I of Valois. Charles Martell, the first Carolingian, was the grandfather of Charlemagne.
This statue of Charles I of Valois (1270-1325) is an excellent match for the Carolus coins:

Fig. 79: Silver denier, Image of (tomb) in St Denis KAROLUS IMP AVG (attributed to Charlemagne)
Fig. 80: Charlemagne by Albrecht Dürer (1510). This image differs from later fantasy and ideal images, but corresponds perfectly to the portraits on the coins attributed to Charlemagne and the statue of Charles of Valois
Charles I of Anjou
Charles I of Anjou (1227-1285), on the other hand, looks deceptively like Charles Martel. He has an edgy face in contrast to the round face of Charles I of Valois and Charles I the Great (Charlemagne). Even the nose and chin are practically the same shape, if you think away the beard. Interestingly, even the haircut is identical.

There was also another Charles of Anjou in the 13th century, with the name Charles Martel (1271-1295), according to official history grandson of Charles I (perhaps identical with him?). He was also king of Sicily and crowned king of Hungary, but could not establish himself there, so that today he is only considered a Hungarian titular king.
In Hungarian written sources, Charles I of Anjou, the grandfather of Charlemagne, is called “Carolus Magnus”, i.e. “Charlemagne” [Archiv 1900, p. 437].
In the 9th century, Charles Martel is the grandfather of Charlemagne, i.e. the other way round.
Charles I of Anjou was the most powerful ruler in Europe of his time and is sometimes referred to by historians as the “uncrowned emperor of the...
