Not like the Byzantine Empire or PLC are that famous in pop culture either (half of the PLC wank is just because of a single Sabaton song). I guess the main difference is that there are no total wars or paradox games from the time period following the fall of Rome to medieval times. You have the death of Charlemagne as the start of CK I guess. You'd think the chuds would be all over stuff like the battle of Tours.
Also not sure why Charlemagne isn't as big a deal as Arthur in popular culture. Charlemagne legend > Arthurian legend.
which sucks, because it's a really interesting period!
assuming you're in the anglosphere, that's probably anglo bias talking - fairly sure charlemagne is a much bigger deal in france
Atilla total war covers the migration peroid and even had a dlc about charlemagne
Mostly Swedish. But if we look at popular culture outputs, the most famous depictions of the paladins of Charlemagne is as femboys in gacha games. You'd think there's be something else.
The term Paladin is pretty well known though, so I guess there is that.
It doesn't go all the way back to the fall of Rome but there is a Crusader Kings II DLC literally titled "Charlemagne" which introduced the 769 AD start date where Charlemange and Carloman each rule half of Francia.
