Pepin III the Short  714-768

 

Pepin III the Short  714-768

 


 

If you feel like making fun of the guy just because of his nickname, hold it right there.

a) The physical height of a man has nothing to do with his political power.

b) Danny DeVito makes a good living.

c) The father of Pepin the Short was Charles Martel The Hammer. The son of Pepin the Short was Charlemagne. Reckon a man with this set of genes had many issues with his physical appearance?

d) Pepin the Short was the man who ended the rule of the  Merovingian Dynasty. In their place, he made himself king and enrolled his family members to be Frankish kings and emperors for the next 200 years. The two new magic words were Carolingian Dynasty.
 

 

More About Pepin III the Short

Pepin's brothers were Carloman and Grifo.

In November 751 at Soissons, Pepin the Short was anointed as king by Archbishop Boniface. The timing was perfect. The papacy was in dire straits because of the Lombards who were constantly knocking on Rome's door and trying to kick butt. The pope needed Pepin.

And Pepin was just the man for the job. But life was tough and on the way home from one of his campaigns in Aquitaine he simply died.

Now what?

Brother Carloman had already died in 754 and half brother Grifo had done the same in 753.

So the kingdom went to Pepin's sons, Charles (Charlemagne) and Carloman.
