The name was notably borne by Charlemagne (Charles the Great), and was at the time Latinized as ''Karolus'' (as in '' Vita Karoli Magni''), later also as '' Carolus''.

What A Nightmare, Charlie Brown!
''What a Nightmare, Charlie Brown!'' is the 17th prime-time animated television special based on the comic strip ''Peanuts'' by Charles M. Schulz. It originally aired on Thursday, February 23, 1978, at 8:00 P.M. ET/PT on CBS. The special is unusual in that Snoopy and Charlie Brown are the only members of the ''Peanuts'' cast to appear in it. The plot is similar to that of Jack London's ''The Call of the Wild'', and it centers on Snoopy having a nightmare about being an Arctic sled dog. This was the first special Bill Melendez directed since 1973's '' A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving''. In June 2010, the special debuted on DVD as part of the ''Peanuts 1970's Collection, Volume Two'' set by Warner Home Video.
