Pippinid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Pippinids or Arnulfings are the members of a family of Frankish nobles whose select scions served as major-domos, de facto rulers, of the Frankish kingdoms of Neustria and Austrasia that were nominally ruled by the Merovingians. |
 | | The last of the Pippinids was Charlemagne's father Pippin III (Pepin III) (also known as Pippin the Short), 714-768, who became major-domo in 741 upon the death of his father Charles Martel and was subsequently elected king in his own right in 751. |
 | | After the rule of his son Charlemagne, the house became known as the Carolingians. |
