In his Wittenburg to Westphalia podcast, Benjamin Jacobs describes Arnulf's coup as (likely) the best planned and first executed of several different schemes to replace Charles, and frames the following crownings elsewhere in the empire as, at least in part, a sudden scramble to determine which of these other plans could be salvaged after Arnulf's success.

Is this a reasonable way to look at these events? Does it comport with your understanding of the actors involved?
