| | LIFE OF CHUCK |
 | | Charlie, as they called him at home, was born about A.D. 742, the son of Pippin the Short and Bertha of the Big Foot, an outstanding girl of the period. |
 | | Pippin was mayor of the palace, or majordomo, for Childeric the Brainless, one of the Do-Nothing kings of the Franks who did nothing but sit around all day long twiddling their mistresses and quaffing mead. |
 | | Pippin the Short died in 768, leaving his title jointly to Charles and Carloman a younger son who soon died suddenly, although he had never been sick a day in his life. |
