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.

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.
