[SUSANNA KEENE.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, 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.
