PEPIN OF LANDEN, OR PEPIN THE ELDER, French PÉPIN DE LANDEN, OR PÉPIN LE VIEUX, councillor of the Merovingian king Chlotar II and mayor of the palace in Austrasia.

Through the marriage of his daughter Begga with Ansegisel, son of Arnulf (d. 641; bishop of Metz), Pepin was the founder of the Carolingian dynasty. Deprived of his mayoralty at the accession (629) of Dagobert I, he regained power in Austrasia after that king's death (January 639) but did not long survive to enjoy it.

REF: "The Descent of Hughes" Graham Milne: Pepin's ancestry is uncertain but some sources say that the Arnulfing were descended from Roman senatorial families.

Notes for BISHOP OF METZ ST. ARNOULF 'DE HERISTAL' (ARNULF)BISHOP OF METZ:

Parentage is considered speculative and/or unreliable.

Many historians believe Bodegeisel II and Oda de Saxony are St. Arnulf Bishop of Metz's parents. Less reliable sources believe Arnulf's parents were

Arnoldue Margrave of Schelde (Arnoldus de Schelde) & Oda de Saxony. These sources believe Bodegeisel II was a mythical person.

French SAINT ARNOUL DE METZ, bishop of Metz and, with Pepin I, the earliest definitive ancestor of Charlemagne.

A Frankish noble, Arnulf gave distinguished service at the Austrasian court under Theudebert II (595-612). In 613, however, with Pepin, he led the aristocratic opposition to Brunhild that led to her downfall and to the reunification of Frankish lands under Chlotar II. About the same year, he became bishop.

From 623, again with Pepin, now mayor of the Austrasian palace, Arnulf was adviser to Dagobert I, before retiring (629?) to become a hermit. Arnulf's son Ansegisel married Pepin's daughter Begga; the son of this marriage, Pepin II, was Charlemagne's great-grandfather.

Notes for DUC DE AUSTRASIA & BRABAN PEPIN II OF HERISTAL / MAYOR OF THE PALACE:

[Rau Family.FBK.FTW]

[14495.ftw]

Pepin of Heristol (Liege, Belgium); Mayor Of The Palace Of Austrasia.

Pepin of Herstal (635?-714), Carolingian mayor of the palace, who reunited the Frankish realms in the late Merovingian period. A grandson of Pepin the Elder, he succeeded to his position in the kingdom of Austrasia around 680. In 687 he

extended Carolingian rule to the other Frankish kingdoms, Neustria and Burgundy, but retained members of the Merovingian dynasty as figurehead monarchs in all three. Two years later he extended his control over the Frisians, a pagan people living on the North Sea coast. Pepin's death was followed by a civil war and the succession of his illegitimate son Charles Martel.

"The Oxford Illustrated History of Medieval Europe, Holmes, George, Oxford University Press, 1988":

The first of the great Carolingian Mayor of the Palace of Austrasia. Ruler of the Franks in 687, he managed, through the Battle of Tertry in 687, to unite Neustria and Austrasia under his own "puppet" Merovingian king. But the power struggles in northern Gaul seriously weakened the power of the merovingians and their mayors. The Aquitanians had their own Duke; the "Patricius" of Provence was for all practical purposes an independent ruler.; the aristocrats of Burgundy paid little attention to the Franks in the north.34

"Britannica On-Line":

The son of Begga and Ansegisel, who were, respectively, the daughter of

Pepin I and the son of Bishop Arnulf of Metz, Pepin established himself as mayor of the palace in Austrasia after the death of Dagobert II in 679 and defended its autonomy against Theodoric III of Neustria and Ebroon, Theodoric's mayor of the palace. Defeated by Ebroon in 680 at Lucofao (near Laon), Pepin gained his revenge on the Neustrians in 687 at Tertry (near Pironne) and became sole effective ruler of the Franks. He nevertheless retained Theodoric III on the throne and after his death replaced him with three successive Merovingian kings. After several years of warfare Pepin defeated the Frisians on his northeastern border (689) and married his son Grimoald to Theodelind, daughter of the Frisian chief Radbod. He also forced the Alemanni to recognize Frankish authority again and encouraged Christian missionaries in Alemannia and Bavaria. Charles Martel was his son.

Notes for PEPIN III "THE SHORT" OF THE FRANKS:

[Rau Family.FBK.FTW]

[14495.ftw]

Pepin 'The Short', King Of The Franks founded the Carolingian dynasty. Like his father, grandfather, and great-great-grandfather, Pepin served as mayor of the palace in the Merovingian kingdom in France and Germany. In each case, the mayor was the power behind the throne. In 751, an assembly of the Franks deposed Childeric III, the last of the weak Merovingian kings, and proclaimed Pepin king. Pope Stephen II, who ruled Rome, asked Pepin for help against the Lombard king, Pepin sent his army to save Rome. The Lombards had captured Ravenna. Pepin recaptured the city and much of the nearby territory, known as 'the Donation of Pepin,' helped build the political power of the pope. Pepin added Aquitaine to his own kingdom, and began many important religious and educational reforms. His son Charlemagne, carried on these reforms.

Notes for KING OF FRANCE LOUIS I "THE PIOUS":

[Rau Family.FBK.FTW]

[14495.ftw]

Louis I 'The Pious', Emperor Of The Holy Roman Empire in 814 succeeded his father Charlemagne. In 817, he arranged for the succession after his death by dividing the empire among his three sons. After his first wife died, Louis married again, and a

fourth son, Charles, was born. Louis redivided his empire in 829 in order to give Charles a share. The older sons resented the new division and revolted. Louis was removed from the throne in 833, but was restored the next year. The bitter struggle

between his sons continued until Louis died.

The name Louis means 'famous warrier'.
