阿努尔夫
Arnulf
卒于西元899年
德国国王，原为克恩滕公爵。887年被东法兰克人选为国王，罢黜了其叔父胖子查理（Charles the Fat），但是西法兰克人、勃艮地和意大利拒绝承认阿努尔夫，加洛林帝国自此瓦解。他击败了北欧海盗（891），结束了海盗们对莱茵河沿岸的突袭。还册封其子为洛塔林基亚（Lotharingia，今洛林〔Lorraine〕）的国王，继续控制该地。阿努尔夫受教宗福尔摩苏斯（Pope Formosus）的鼓动出兵意大利，并于895年攻占罗马，896年加冕为神圣罗马帝国皇帝。后因病被迫返回德意志，而前任皇帝仍保持皇帝称号。阿努尔夫在他生命的最后数年里，目睹摩拉维亚和匈牙利人相继侵犯德意志，以及他的权力的瓦解。
English:
King of Germany. Originally duke of Carinthia, he was elected king of the East Franks in 887, deposing his uncle, Charles the Fat. The West Franks, Burgundy, and Italy refused to recognize Arnulf, thus dividing the Carolingian empire. He defeated the Vikings (891), ending their raids up the Rhine River, and maintained control of Lotharingia (now Lorraine). He invaded Italy at the urging of Pope Formosus, captured Rome (895), and was crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 896. Illness forced him to return to Germany, however, and the previous emperor continued to rule. Arnulf''s last years saw invasions by Moravia and Hungary and the collapse of his power.
