New conspiracy theory for you:I found a site listing the "Top 10 Wackiest Conspiracy Theories". Nestled between conspiracies about barcode enslavement and Area 51 aliens is a conspiracy theory entitled "Charlemagne never existed, is a fictional character":
Phantom time hypothesis is a theory developed by Heribert Illig which suggests that the Early Middle Ages (614?911 CE) never occurred, meaning that all artifacts attributed to this time period were from other times, and all historical figures were outright fabrications. One consequence of Illig's hypothesis is that Charlemagne never existed but is a fictional character. The vast majority of historians believe this theory to be complete fiction, as all cited evidence can be considered circumstantial.
Strange. I never heard it before. I can't quite lend this much serious thought at all but you may want to be aware of it. Or bring it up at the next cocktail party you're at.Bonus: look at the theory about the Nazi base on the moon!
As far as I know, Charlemagne was of mostly Germanic origin. But, as with all royals, there are probably many other bloodlines. The Merovingians and Carolingians claimed even some Hebrew roots. I myself agree Charlemagne was partially descended from the Israelite tribe of Dan, a seafaring people. I learned in history class that Charlemagne was very tall and I've heard that he might have also had blood of the extinct Nephilim. I don't know about that last one.

In modern day Ethiopia Beta Israel, a group of Jews are claiming to be descendants of the Tribe of Dan.Hippolytus of Rome and a few Millennialists apparently claim that the Antichrist will come from the tribe of Dan.After crossing Africa from Aethiopia to Zimbwabwe, being Irish, or Insular Celts as a whole, Chiang Min people of northwest China, Pashtun, Kurds, Japanese, American Indians and many others, the Franks were Hebrew as well ... I wonder if whenever someone is being famous, it's because he is of some "lost tribe" ancestry ! ???It's obvious that Charlemagne was the hidden illigitimate son of Julius C., legendary Roman general hottie ! ::)Check the document: Equestrian statuette of Charlemagne or Charles the BaldHorse: Late Empire or ninth century, restored in the eighteenth centuryRider: ninth century ? Mus?e du LouvreThis bronze statuette, which has been said to be of Charlemagne, was discovered by Alexandre Lenoir in the treasury at Metz Cathedral in 1807 and is inspired by equestrian statues from antiquity, such as that of Marcus Aurelius in Rome. The representation of Charlemagne or Charles the Bald as a horse-riding figure highlights the Carolingian emperors' interest in the thematic repertoire of antique art. The monarch, holding a globe and a sword (now missing), asserts his authority as a conqueror.
Charlemagne called his empire the New Israel and himself David. He called his grandson Lothair Joshua for his warlike qualities, youngest grandsonson Louis Jonathan, Eberhard Nehemiah, and Einhard Bezaleel. Louis the Pious referred to Charles, his son from Judith, as Benjamin.Many Franks assumed Latinized Hebrew names such as Abbo for Abba, Iterius for Itiel, and Haimo for Chaim, Poets praised Empress Judith as Miriam, Esther, and Rachael according to their perceptions of her.A large number of the high clergy took Hebrew names instead of those of apostles and saints: Bishops Elijah of Troyes, Solomon of Constance, Jeremiah of Sens, Isaac of Langres, Jesse of Amiens, Jonah of Orl?ans, and Joseph, the Scot; Abbots Samuel of Lorsch, Adam of Jumi?ges, and Samson, of Pinnamellaria. Women too received Old Testament names, foremost among them Empress Judith at birth.A controversial book, A Jewish Princedom in Feudal France, 769-900, describes the existence of a Jewish princedom in Septimania at the time of the Carolingians, whose Davidic prince (Nasi) married Pepin the Short's sister Alda and by doing so became his vassal -- hence, the Carologinans could claim the Davidic succession by suzerainty. Regarding the Tribe of Dan, the racist British-Israel World Federation believes the Celtic-Anglo-Saxon Danish mix are the pure and true descendants of Israel's Lost tribes, whereas Jews are merely mongrelized mix of Hitties, Idumeans and assorted Armenoids. They claim that the Persians called the captive tribes of Israel Sacchaseni, Children of Isaac and that sea faring Dan gave its name to the sea faring Danes (Danmark). Also Tea Tephi, the daughter of the last king of Israel somehow ended up in ireland, married a chieftain who descendants became the Stuarts. They also claim two tribes headed east to become progenitors of the Japanese Samurai (from Samaria) -- that theory came about at the time of the Anglo Japanese alliance before WWI. Their illustrated pamphlets show bas reliefs of Israelite prisoners who had "noble aquiline British noses" whereas captured Hittites had the obvious curved nostrils of Armenoids and Jews.

Regarding the Tribe of Dan and Nephilim? No. I was merely adding some facts and theories I find interesting and germaine to the thread. I have completed 95% of the research for my historical novel set during the reign of Louis the Pious, 814-840, so I am more familiar than all but those who teach and write about the life and times of the Carolingians. So, I reject totally the claim that Charlemagne, who spoke Germanic Frank, is fiction.I came across the Brit-Israel WF decades ago -- their beliefs in some fashion (Victoria and EdVII) were members as was Lord Balfour) according to Tuchman and Trevor-Roper I believe led to the White Paper and modern Israel. I read the Jewish Princedom book before Holy Blood, Holy Grail was published and Dan Brown ever thought of writing the DaVinci code.Of further interest, there are claims that all British royal males staring with Victoria's children were circumcised ( some say by a rabbi mohel) until Charles stopped the practice. Also it was common for the eldest to be called David except when assuming the throne. The reasons would take too long to explain here other than the belief of descent from the afore mentioned last King of Israel, Zedikiah.
