Charlemagne's Assassination

Early Viking era Danish king Gottafried gets shanked in the back or something like that by one of his bodyguards allegedly. There's a you know a little JFK assassination type speculation going on here but exactly who might be responsible for that is not known. Why do I have to fight you when if I just kill you your relatives will fight over the kingship and dissolve into those same Viking band of you know feuding barbarians you always were, says historian Roger Collins.
