It is fun to see the difference between english and french names. The pronounciation isn't even close for Theuderic --> Thierry, Odo --> Eudes, Rudolph --> Raoul...

Yikes! Now I understand why I was looking at the English names and thinking "how weird, that name (Odo, Rudolph) doesn't ring a bell at all."

That'd be Charles le Grand. Charlemagne is a Frenchified form of his name in Latin.

i am sure there is a reason but how can the first theuderic be numbered III?

Because most of the Merovingians divided their kingdoms among their sons. So there was a King I and II but they were never kings of France (perhaps of Austrasia or other territories)

Theuderic was King of Metz and Orleans, Theuderic II was King of Austrasia and Burgundy. Both ruled over subkingdoms of the Frankish kingdom.

Mostly known as Charlemagne, but it's a francised form of Carolus Magnus, Charles the Great. So still Charles

fun fact : John II was called "The Good" and in French it makes : Jean le Bon, and a common (not funny) pun with it is Jean-Bon (jambon) which means "ham".

Now btw you know how to pronounce Jean (like "jam" in "jambon")

For the last one (from 1852 to 1870) it is not Napoleon but Louis Napoleon Bonaparte (or Napoleon III after he became emperor).

Oddo should be accepted. It's a spelling that's frequently seen.
