There is one correct spelling in modern times. The French dropped the silent s from their language long ago, replacing it with an accent (”^”). Now, in the age of computers, the accent is hard to print, and is often omitted. So, Rasle is no more correct than “George Wafhington,” and Rale is no more correct than “a fiancee” or “a resume.”

There are some many different spelling of his name in writings. I have seen the spelling of his name change in the same document several times...

If only the spelling of his last name was the only controversy surrounding him.

Harvard's Antropological Museum has it spelled "Kale", with a "K".
