  Pippin of Herstal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pépin), also known as Pippin the Middle, Pippin the Younger (as with his grandson), or Pippin II, (635 or 640–December 16, 714, Jupille) was the grandson of Pippin (I) the Elder through the marriage of Ansegisel and Begga, the daughter of the Elder.
Pippin then became the de facto ruler of Austrasia, keeping a strong influence over the other Frankish kingdoms of which he was now also mayor of the palace, the first mayor of the palace over all the kingdoms, calling himself "Duke and Prince of the Franks" (dux et princeps Francorum).
Around 670, Pippin married Plectrude for her inheritance of substantial estates in the Moselle region.

714), incorrectly called Pippin of Herstal, was son of Adalgiselus (son of Arnulf, bishop of Metz) by a daughter of Pippin I., called in later documents Begga.
From the time of the abdication Pippin was sole master; and in 751, after consulting Pope Zacharias, he took the title of king and removed the feeble Childeric to a monastery.
In return for these honours 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.

He was a member of the family later called the Carolingians and it can be argued that he was instrumental in consolidating their power at the expense of the ruling Merovingian kings of the Franks.
At the death of his father in 741, an attempt was made to divide power between Carloman and his brother Pippin III and Grifo[?].
Carloman strengthened his authority in part via his support of Boniface, the so-called "Apostle to the Germans." This was in part a continuation of a policy begun under his grandfather Pippin of Herstal and continued to a lesser extent under Charles Martel.

Adgild appears to have submitted to the largely conceptual overlordship of the Frankish king, Dagobert II in 675, but under his successor, Radbod, an attempt was made to extirpate Christianity and to free the Frisians from the Frankish subjection associated with it.
Radbod was, however, beaten by Pippin of Herstal in the battle of Dorstadt (689), and was compelled to cede West Frisia (Frisia Citerior, "Nearer Frisia" from the Scheldt to the Zuider Zee) to the Franks.
He forced Saint Willibrord and his monks to flee, and this time he advanced as far as Cologne, where he defeated the famous Charles Martel, Pippin's natural son.
