In return for these honors Pippin, at the appeal of the pope, made two expeditions into Italy, in 754 and 756; and he became the veritable creator of the papal state by conferring on the pope the exarchate of Ravenna, which he had wrested from Aistulf, the king of the Lombards.
Pippin took Septimania from the Arabs, and after a stubborn war of nearly eight years duration (76068) succeeded in taking Aquitaine from its duke, Waifer.
Pippin died on the 24th of September 768 at St Denis, leaving two sons, Charles (Charlemagne) and Carloman.

Pippin the Younger (714-September 24, 768) often known under the mistranslation Pippin the Short (French, Pépin le Bref; German, Pippin der Kleine, Pippin der Kurze, Pippin der Jüngere), was a King of the Franks (751-768).
Pippin then went to ask the Pope who should be complete ruler; the person with the title of king, or the person who makes the decisions of king.
Pippin's first major act was to go to war against the Lombard king Aistulf as a partial repayment for papal support in his quest for the crown.

He was the second son of Pippin the Younger and Bertrada of Laon.

There was considerable tension between the brothers, which may be the reason why, at Carloman's death, his wife Gerberga fled with her sons to the court of Desiderius, king of the Lombards.

 Pippin der Jüngere - Wikipedia
Pippin war daran gelegen, statt sich mit dem Hausmeier-Amt zufrieden zu geben, auch das seiner tatsächlichen Machtstellung angemessenere Königs-Amt zu erlangen, das allerdings noch der von den Karolingern selbst eingesetzte Schattenkönig Childerich III.
Aistulf, in Pavia belagert, verstand sich zu allem, brach aber nach Pippins Abzug seine Zusagen und belagerte den Papst in Rom.
Pippin kehrte nun 756 zurück, zwang Aistulf zur Anerkennung der fränkischen Oberherrschaft und zur Abtretung des Exarchats, das Pippin dem Papst schenkte (pippinsche Schenkung), und übernahm das Patriziat über die Stadt Rom.

Pippin is a constant source of irritation to Gandalf throughout the trilogy, and as the Wizard is one of the guiding forces behind the quest to destroy the ring and thwart Sauron, Pippin's actions make him a less idealized figure than others such as Frodo, Sam and Merry who do little to test Gandalf's patience.
Pippin comes to see his lord "like an old patient spider" (III, 79), and realizes that "he was in deadly earnest the servant of a grim master in the greatest peril" (III, 81).
The relationship between Pippin and Denethor was based on pride in the beginning, but in the end it is only the servant Pippin who fulfills his duty and is transformed into a better person as a result of his showing the bravery and loyalty that are required of him.

Both Pippin III and Carloman I had been educated at St Denis, and Fulrad was one of Pippin’s closest advisers.
Pippin’s request would have also been in keeping with Papal and scriptural tradition: kings should be seen to rule, as Old Testament kings had ruled.
Thus, according to the Continuator of the Chronicle of Fredegar, Papal sanction was given and Pippin, with the consent of all the Franks, was “consecrated by the bishops and received the homage of the great men”.

It is no accident that Otto III declared the Donation of Constantine to be a forgery, as already mentioned, a fact he probably learned from his East Roman mother and tutors.
