Arnulf of Carinthia was the only son of Carloman of Bavaria; he was a bastard (his mother was Liutswind, a concubine) and the Carolingians did not traditionally recognize succession thru bastardy. Arnulf was given Carinthia (then a marcher territory) to rule on his father's behalf, but being illegitimate was never intended to succeed to any of the Frankish crowns. His real claim to fame was leading the opposition to his uncle, Charles the Fat, which is how he managed to carve out his own realm in East Francia.

There is a section on him here, and if you scroll up to his father's section it will mention about him being illegitimate. Normally he wouldn't have inherited -- but he was a usurper.

On a related note, it wouldn't hurt to give some of the Carolingians their nicknames.

}

I see Voy suggested 'the Hunchback' as a nickname here, so I will as well. It would be easy to add and ideal for the 'hunchback' trait, so I think it's worth doing.

The nicknames below all exist in 1.08.

Also, for some reason Robert the Pious's (ID 206) nickname is hashed out. I'm not sure why. You should re-add it.

Finally, there are some other missing nicknames reported here (quite a good list) and a few Norman ones here. I think Veld was compiling a list of some others, though I don't know if he ever got round to posting it.

Thanks.
