Pepin III aka Pepin the Short died at age 54. He was succeeded as
Frankish King by his son, Carl or Charles, 26 years old, who became
known a s Charles the Great (Charlemagne) King of the Franks and the
Carlings.
Pepin III, son of Charles Martel, was crowned at Saint-Denis (France) by
Pope Stephen II, and the new Frankish dynasty was then proclaimed holy
and its title indisputable. 754.
Pepin III, called le Bref or the Short, succeeded his father , Charles
Martel, as ruler of the Merovengian Kingdom, which later became Imperial
Germany, in 741. Pepin III ruled until 751 as Mayor of the Palace, the n
as King of Carolingia from 751 to 768. He was succeeded Charles, who
became known as Charlemagne.
Pepin, son of Charles Martel, had himself crowned at Soisson in 751, by
the archbishop of Mainz Wynfrith Boniface, and became Pepin III in a new
ceremony for the Franks, one which gives much prestige to the new
sovereign. Pepin le Brief (the short) in 751 had asked the Pope
Zacharias whether it would be wiser for the family who had all the power
(after the end of the Meerwing Kings with King Childeric III) and the
Pope agreed. Saint Boniface, the English missonary, annointed Pepin at
Soissons in 752.
Charles Martel's legacy of the House of the Carlings was carried into
power by his son Pepin II who became the founder of the House of
Carolingia in 751, bec oming King of all the Franks, and ruled the kingdom
of Carolingia until 768. Succeeded by Charlemagne.
Pepin II the Short, along with his brother, Carloman, received the office
of Mayor of the Palace from his father Charles Martel in 741. Pepin II
served the Meerwing King Childeric III until Childeric was put in a
monastary. Pepin then became King of the Franks in 751.
The Frankish King Pepin III had taken lands that legally belonged to the
Byzatine/Easter n Roman Empire. Pepin II forced King Astolfo of the
Lombards to give up part of his lands. Pepin gave the lands to Pope
Stephen II, tacitly recognizing the claims of popes as heirs to the
empire of Italy. Thus established the papal states which began temporal
power of the papacy.
