	Australian Information from Wikipedia
		In 687, Pepin of Herstal, mayor of the palace of Austrasia, ended the strife between various kings and their mayors with his victory at Tertry and practically became the sole governor of the entire Frankish kingdom.
		Pepin the Middle was eventually succeeded by his illegitimate son Charles, later known as Charles Martel (the Hammer).
		In 751, Pepin was elected and anointed King of the Franks and in 754, Pope Stephen II again anointed him and his young sons, now heirs to the great realm which already covered most of western and central Europe.

		Pepin was an amiable fellow, and he grew to be a well-liked member of Charles' court.
		The hunchbacked prince was a threat to her sons' succession, both due to Charles' doting attitude toward him and his name (Frankish succession had alternated between Charleses and Pepins for the last four generations).
		Pepin also remained a popular "friend" of discontented nobles, and in 792, several counts played upon Pepin's dislike for his brothers to convince the deformed prince to play the figurehead in their rebellion.

	Pippin: Historically Speaking
		The first son, known as “Pepin the Hunchback,” was sired in Charlemagne's earliest union with Himiltrude, thirteen-year-old daughter of the Lombard king.
		Unsurprisingly, the hunchback's sentence was commuted in short order, and he was sent to a monastery to live as a monk, dying there after two decades in seclusion.
		Pepin was eldest of the king's legitimate sons, destined to become ruler of Italy and eventually heir to the Holy Roman Empire.

	Louis the Pious - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Louis was one of Charlemagne's four legitimate sons, but the eldest, Pepin the Hunchback, had consented to a rebellion against his father and was banished to a monastery.
		Immediately, fearing that Pepin would be stirred up to revolt by his nobles and desiring to reform his morals, Louis the Pious summoned all his forces to meet in Aquitaine in preparation of an uprising, but Louis the German garnered an army of Slav allies and conquered Swabia before the emperor could react.
		At Jonac, he declared Charles king of Aquitaine and deprived Pepin (he was less harsh with the younger Louis), restoring the whole rest of the empire to Lothair, not yet involved in the civil war.

		Charlemagne was the eldest child of Pepin the Short (714 – 24 September 768, reigned from 751) and his wife Bertrada of Laon (720 – 12 July 783), daughter of Caribert of Laon and Bertrada of Cologne.
		On the death of Pepin, the kingdom of the Franks was divided—following tradition—between Charlemagne and Carloman.
		Pepin died in 810 and Charles in 811.

	Charlemagne
		In this campaign King Pepin of Lombardy cooperated with his father, with forces drawn from Italy; the later stages of this war (which may be considered the last of Charles' great wars) were left in the hands of the younger king.
		In any case, since the Donation of Pepin (752) the pope was formally sovereign of the duchy of Rome and the Exarchate; hence, apart from its effect on his shadowy claim to the sovereignty of all Italy, the Byzantine ruler had nothing to lose by the elevation of Charles.
		But Pepin and Charles pre-deceased the emperor, and in 813 the magnates of the empire did homage at Aachen to Louis the Pious as King of the Franks, and future sole ruler of the great imperial state.

		Both Pepin (king of Italy) and younger brother Charles (king of Neustria) died prematurely (respectively in 810 and 811 A.D.).
		The first son was known as "Pepin the Hunchback", and his mother was Himiltrude, a 13-year-old daughter of the Lombard king.
		Pepin had a son and five daughters, but died before his father, and so the kingdom passed to his brother Louis.

	Charlemagne and His Empire
		It is not known, though, whether Pepin III did this in favor of Carloman, or whether he knew that Charlemagne would do a better job of defending and ruling the rebellious territories.
		Himiltrude had one child Pepin the Hunchback, and Hildegard had six of his children, Charles, Pepin King of Italy, Louis I the Pious, Lothar, Berthe, and Rohtrud.
		However, in July 810 Pepin died, and a year later Charles died, leaving the entire empire to Louis I. Louis and his father were considered co-emperors for a few years, until Charlemagne’s health declined.

	Pippin the Hunchback - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pippin the Hunchback (born before 770 – 813) was the first son of Charles the Great (Charlemagne) of his first wife (or concubine) Himiltrude.
		In addition, Pippin was an easy target for discontented nobles, who lavished sympathies on him and lamented the treatment his mother had received when Charles had divorced her in favor of a Lombard princess.
		The hunchbacked prince was a threat to her sons' succession, both due to Charles' doting attitude toward him and his name (Frankish succession had alternated between Charleses and Pippins for the last four generations).

	Charlemagne "Charles the Great" "King of the Franks"
		He will also be remembered as the white-haired old king in the Song of Roland; but he was neither an economist nor the rather feckless character of the Song, being rather one of the ideal examples in European history of the man of action, a type that always spells danger.
		He was born in 742 to Pepin the Short, who was Mayor of the Palace of Childeric III, the last of an ever degenerating line of Merovingian kings.
		In 751, with the support of the Pope, Pepin cut off Childeric's long hair, the mark of his kingship, and sent him to a monastery, arrogating to himself the royal power.

	Charlemagne, Frankish Emperor
		When Pepin III died in 768, his sons Carloman and Charles I (called Charlemagne towards the end of his reign) succeeded as Kings of the Franks.
		Either Pepin did this because he favored Carloman, or because he knew that Charlemagne was a better general and needed to be the one to face the rebellions.
		In July of 810, Pepin died, and he was followed by Charles in December of 811.

	Culpepper Connections' Family Tree - Person Page 8373
		Pepin and his older brother, Carloman, had just jointly assumed the government of the Frankish kingdom as maior domus, or "mayor of the palace." The dynasty, later called Carolingian after Charlemagne, had originated in the Meuse-Moselle region on the borders of modern France, Germany, Belgium, and The Netherlands.
		On Carloman's retirement to a monastery, Pepin eliminated the latter's sons from the government.
		More ominous was an aristocratic conspiracy that in 792 attempted to place on the throne the hunchback Pepin, Charles's only son from his first marriage, which was later declared invalid; yet here, too, the political concepts and motives remain unknown.

	Louis the Pious Summary
		In 806 Louis, along with his brothers, Charles and Pepin, was assigned to his inheritance, being designated king of Aquitaine.
		Between 806 and the death of Charlemagne in 814, Charles and Pepin died, leaving Louis, the least aggressive and warlike of the three, as the sole heir to the empire.
		Despite his efforts to appease his sons and to reapportion his realm again in 838 after the death of Pepin, internal strife and shifting allegiances continued throughout his reign and into subsequent generations.

	Salem Press
		Charlemagne was the eldest child of Pepin and Bertrada, his Friedelehe--more than a concubine, but not canonically a wife, so that their son was arguably illegitimate.
		At that time, the pope recognized as Pepin's joint heirs Charlemagne and his younger brother, Carloman, who was born in 751 and was unquestionably legitimate, since by then his father and Bertrada were legally married.
		Upon Pepin's death in 768, however, the seventeen-year-old Carloman--perhaps because of the circumstances of his birth--received by his father's will the central portion of the kingdom, while the twenty-six-year-old Charlemagne was left with an unwieldy strip of land running along the Atlantic coast and turning inland beyond the Rhine River.

		Pepin the Short indulged in the monopoly of the coining of money, deciding on the opening and closure of minting shops, the weight, title and the subjects represented.
		Thus, European coinage began with Pepin, who revived the system put in place by the ancient Greeks and Romans and kept going by the Eastern Roman Empire (1 libra = 20 solidi = 240 denarii).
		On the death of Pepin the kingdom was divided between Charlemagne and his brother Carloman (Carloman ruled Austrasia).
