father in Neustria, the western part of the kingdom, while hisbrother,
Carloman, held the eastern part.  They both kept the time of mayor ofthe
palace, and were the actual rulers of the country.  They appointedChilderic
III, probably a Merovingian, as king, but presided over tribunals,convoked
councils of the church, and made war themselves.  Carloman abdicatedand retire
to a monastery in 747.  Pepin was thus sole master of both Austrasiaand
Neustria, and after consulting Pope Zacharias took the title of king.He was
crowned by St. Boniface in 751 and later was recrowned by Pope StephenII, who
also made him a Patrician of Rome.  In return for these favors Pepinmade two
expeditions against the Lombards.  He took the exarchate of Ravennafrom them
and conferred it on the Pope.  This marked the beginning of the PapalStates.
After an eight year war he occupied Aquitaine.

Pepin, "The Short," King of the Franks, founded the Carolingian Dynasty. Like his father, grandfather, and 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.
