Maybe, just maybe, there is hope for a new Karl the Great (corrupted as Charlemagne).

"Karl the Great (corrupted as Charlemagne). "

Correct: he spoke German, not French, and is fondly known as Karl der Große.

His seat was in Aachen.

How in the world English and French History converted him to Charlemange is beyond me . . .
