Pepin III, the Short c.715-768
King of the Franks
The illegitimate son of Charles Martel and father of Charlemagne, he founded the Frankish dynasty of the Carolingians. He was chosen king (751) in place of Childeric III, the last of the Merovingians. When Pope Stephen III was hard pressed by the Longobards, Pepin led an army into Italy (754), compelled the Lombard Aistulf to become his vassal, and laid the foundation of the temporal sovereignty of the popes (756). The rest of his life was spent in wars against Saxons and Saracens.
