Except for all the French, and neighbouring French-speaking countries... (and probably other European countries, but I wasn't exposed to their education system).

I'm on the other side of Germany (Czechia) and everybody knows who Charlemagne is, it's basic education here, you learn it in 6th grade. It's not that positive figure here though, Czech people didn't submit willingly to his empire.
