I think we're past that, at least I hope that we are, as Norwegians
. He's known as Charles now... in Norway, and it would just be confusing for us all...
Granted, we have a long tradition of calling the Jameses Jakob, Louis= Ludvig, Mary = Maria, etc.
It is certainly confusing enough, when you're a student of history and try to make sense of the Merovingan kings... in texts in Norwegian, Danish, French and English... and they all seem to use different names on them.
That was gruesome.
