Re: Lausanne etc.
If ethnic group is decisive rather than nationality we should not include Lille (Rijssel) or any other city of Dutch origin.
Monaco btw is not a city. If you insist on including a city from the small independent principality you can take Monte Carlo.

I only know that he said he was "diutisce" and not "walahisce". The "diutisce" is the root of "Deutsch", whereas the "Welsch" meant the language of romanized Celts, or romanic languages in general (it still does today in many parts) |
"Walahisce" probably denotes "Waals" (Wallonic, French).
"Diutisce" could very well equal Dutch rather than Deutsch, since the low lands were a firm part of his empire while eg Saxony was only really conquered much later and more eastern parts of Germany were never part of his empire.
Charlemagne was king of the Franks - officially so, approved by the Pope as was the custom in those days.
Not of the Teutons.
While the Franks originally started out in a part of Germany, they extended their territory to the west.
Even while France not exactly equalled Franks in Charlemagne's days (there were eg Gallicians and Bretons to consider) in view of the above I'd say that he belongs on the French list of leaders only; I'm still inclined to pick him over Jeanne d'Arc as the eternal Leader of France.
