Kingdom of Charlemagne
This mod allows you to (re) found the Kingdom of Charlemagne as an empire tier Empire comprising the terretories from the Pyrenees to the Oder and from the North Sea to middle Italy.
It also replaces the empires of France, Germany and Italy with said kingdom of Charlemagne (empire tier).
🏆❌ This mod is not achievement compatible.
- removes the empires of France, Germany and Italy at empire tier.
- adds a new custom empire at empire tier, called "Romanum Imperium".
- de jure capital of the empire is Aachen.
- removes the kingdom of Brittany from the new empire.
- adds a custom CoA for "Romanum Imperium".
- replaces the names of the four carolingian kingdoms (startdate 867) with their historical denominations.
during the time of Charlemagne there was not heraldry like in later centuries. It is therefore not possible to say how Charlemagne chose to represent himself and his realm. Of the few banners known to be associated with or at least attributed to Charlemagne I chose the one from the Triclinium Leoninum mosaic in San Giovanni in Laterano (Rome). The mosaic shown (although made in 1743) is said to be an exact copy of the 9th century original from Lateran Palace and the person on the far left is generally identified as Charlemagne.
Following this I have create what I believe to be an approximate rendition of the depicted banner: six red flowers (?) with a bright heart on a green ground interspersed with twenty-two bright (golden?) dots (stars?).
If you do not agree with this CoA for the Romanum Imperium be sure to use the CoA designer ingame.
I highly recommend using some historical flavour mod.
High compatibility. But best load last/after any mods changing landed_titles.
The newly created empire uses e_germany as it’s base. This is due to an issue with german landed titles dissapearing if added to any empire tier outside of e_germany. So far I did not encounter any issues. There might be issues with the formation of the HRE. If you encounter any issues be sure to let me know.
If anybody knows how to fix the issue with the dissapearing german landed titles please let me know so I can properly create the Romanum Imperium as a standalone empire.
