Le Bon roi Dagobert (1984)
Film Synopsis
Dagobert, the stupendously fat and grotesquely lewd king of the Franks, visits his kingdom, comfortably installed on oxen-driven chariot. A gang of murderous barbarians appear and suddenly attack the king's caravan, killing the guards and running off with the womenfolk. Dagobert survives this bloody ordeal by a miracle, and to show his gratitude to the Divine powers that have spared him he makes his way to Rome, to beg forgiveness for his sins.© James Travers
