When Pippin was crowned king of the Franks at St Denis on the 28th of July 754 by Pope Stephen II., Charles, and his brother Carloman were anointed by the pope as a sign of their kingly rank.

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).
Pippin also remained a popular "friend" of discontented nobles, and in 792, several counts played upon Pippin's dislike for his brothers to convince the deformed prince to play the figurehead in their rebellion.

In turn, Pippin is tempted by and dabbles in greed, lust, gluttony, control, and many of life's other excesses and temptations; all of this leads him to the realization that, ultimately, investing heavily in any of them will not bring him happiness.

 The Seattle Times: Theater & arts: 5th Avenue revisits "Pippin," that quirky 1970s musical
As conceived by composer-lyricist Stephen Schwartz and librettist Roger O. Hirson, the latter Pippin is definitively a creature of 1970s Broadway, where brash musical artists were lustily breaking the rules with rock beats, anachronistic fables and antiestablishment hullabaloo.
What a drag, though, that the vocals and the rollicking backup sounds of conductor Richard Gray's onstage band were periodically marred by sputtering, sludgy miking at a recent matinee.
This "Pippin" doesn't do much to refute the belief that the show's initial success was primarily the work of famed director Bob Fosse.

 Show Information: Pippin: Music Theatre International - MTI - Musical Theatre Broadway Shows Available for Licensing
The energetic pop-influenced score by three-time Oscar®-winning composer/lyricist Stephen Schwartz (“Godspell,” “Children of Eden” and the animated films “Pocahontas,” “The Hunchback Of Notre Dame” and “The Prince Of Egypt”) bursts with one showstopping number after another, from soaring ballads to infectious dance numbers.
Featuring a strong ensemble cast and a show-stealing song-and-dance narrator, “Pippin” is equally effective as an intimate, fl-box production (as envisioned by the authors) or as original director/choreographer Bob Fosse’s splashy, dance-driven spectacle, which included some of the most brilliant staging in Broadway history.
Whether it is the newest hit from the Broadway or London stage, or a timeless classic, MTI has been a driving force in cultivating new work and in extending the production life of the great American musicals.
