If you exclude any culture that was in some way influenced by a non-European culture you're going to have a very short list.
The Franks were heavily influenced by the Romans, and if the Romans don't count due to "foreign influence" then neither do the Franks.
Especially considering Charlemagne belonged to a middle eastern neo-Jewish cult.
