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.

Charlemagne (April 2, 742–January 28, 814; or Charles the Great, in German: Karl der Große, in Latin: Carolus Magnus, and hence the adjective form 'Carolingian'), was king of the Franks from 771 to 814, nominally King of the Lombards, and Roman Emperor.

On the death of Pippin the kingdom was divided between Charlemagne and his brother Carloman.

 Talk:Pepin the Short - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The rest of the rewrites were to reduce the panegyric tone and install some accuracy in light of current scholarship.
I think it is a generational thing, but I think that the majority of English-speaking Carolingianists of the past 20 years or so tend to use Pippin (unless their advisors were Francophiles).
An attempt to rewrite France merely as an offshoot of Germanic rulers is a gross distortion of history.

When Pippin became king in 754 he sent out missi in a desultory fashion; but Charlemagne made them a regular part of his administration, and a capitulary issued about 802 gives a detailed account of their duties.
They were to execute justice, to enforce respect for the royal rights, to control the administration of the counts, to receive the oath of allegiance, and to supervise the conduct and work of the clergy.
In short they were the direct representatives of the king or emperor.
