The failure of legitimate male issue of the later See also:Carolingians gave See also:Arnulf a more important position than otherwise he would have occupied; but he did See also:homage to the emperor See also:Charles the See also:Fat in 882, and spent the next few years in See also:constant warfare with the Slays and the Northmen
.
In 887, however, Arnulf identified himself with the disgust See also:felt by the Bavarians and others at the incapacity of Charles the Fat
.
Gathering a large See also:army, he marched to Tribur; Charles abdicated and the Germans recognized Arnulf as their king, a proceeding which L. von See also:Ranke describes as " the first See also:independent See also:action of the See also:German See also:secular See also:world."

.
He then set out to establish his authority in Spoleto, but on the way was seized with See also:paralysis
