See also:PIPPIN II . (d. 714), incorrectly called Pippin of See also:Herstal, was son of Adalgiselus (son of See also:Arnulf, See also:bishop of See also:Metz) by a daughter of Pippin I., called in later documents Begga. Towards 678 he placed himself at the See also:head of the See also:great nobles in See also:Australia to combat See also:Ebroin, the See also:mayor of the See also:palace, and See also:Neustria. After some reverses he gained a great victory after Ebroin's See also:death at the See also:battle of Tertry, not far from St Quentin. This victory made Pippin almost entire See also:master of See also:Gaul. He appointed one of his sons mayor of the palace of Neustria, reserving for another of his sons the mayoralty of See also:Austrasia. He made See also:war

on the See also:Frisians and defeated their See also:duke Radbod; and See also:part of this See also:people became converts to See also:Christianity. He also defeated Willari, the duke of the See also:Alamanni, and subdued his See also:country. The Bavarians, too, recognized the Frankish See also:suzerainty. The plans he had formed for reforming the See also:- CHURCH

church and convoking See also:councils were interrupted by his death, which took See also:place on the '6th of See also:December 714.
Pupils' III. (d. 768), the See also:Short,' was son of See also:Charles Martel. Before his death in 74' Charles Martel had divided the Frankish See also:kingdom between his two sons, See also:Carloman and Pippin, giving Carloman the eastern part and Pippin the western. Since 737 there had been no See also:- KING

king in the Frankish See also:realm; in the diplomas the two See also:brothers See also:bear the See also:title of majores palatii, while the chroniclers See also:call them simply principes. In 743, however, the mayors decided to appoint a king in the See also:person of Childeric III., who was apparently connected with the Merovingian See also:family. But Childeric was a See also:mere figure-head, and had no See also:power. The two brothers presided over the tribunals, convoked the councils at which the Frankish Church was reformed, assembled the See also:host and made war, jointly defeating and subduing Duke See also:Hunald of See also:Aquitaine. In 747 Carloman unexpectedly abdicated, became a See also:- MONK (O.Eng. munuc; this with the Teutonic forms, e.g. Du. monnik, Ger. Witch, and the Romanic, e.g. Fr. moine, Ital. monacho and Span. monje, are from the Lat. monachus, adaptedfrom Gr. µovaXos, one living alone, a solitary; Own, alone)

time of the See also:abdication Pippin was See also:sole master; and in 751, after consulting See also:Pope See also:Zacharias, he took the title of king and removed the feeble Childeric to a monastery. He then got himself crowned by St See also:Boniface, a ceremony which was new to See also:France and which gave the See also:sovereign immense See also:prestige; henceforth the king of the See also:Franks called himself Gratia Dei rex Francorurn. Pippin's reign is marked by many important events. He received in France a See also:personal visit from Pope See also:Stephen II., who conferred on him the title of Patrician of the See also:Romans and recrowned him. In return for these honours Pippin, at the See also:appeal of the pope, made two expeditions into See also:Italy, in 754 and 756; and he became the veritable creator of the papal See also:state by conferring on the pope the exarchate of See also:Ravenna, which he had wrested from Aistulf, the king of the See also:Lombards. Pippin took Septimania from the See also:Arabs, and after a stubborn war of nearly eight years' duration (76o–68) succeeded in taking Aquitaine from its duke, Waifer. He also intervened in See also:Germany, where he forced the duke of See also:Bavaria, Tassilo, to become his See also:vassal. In 763, however, Tassilo abandoned Pippin during an expedition against Aquitaine. Pippin made several expeditions against the See also:Saxons, but failed to subdue them. He entered into relations with the Eastern See also:Empire, exchanging ambassadors with the See also:emperor See also:Constantine Copronymus. During Pippin's reign Frankish institutions underwent some modification. The Frankish assemblies, previously held in the See also:month of See also:March (champs de See also:mars), but under Pippin deferred to May (champs de See also:mai), came to be more numerous, and served the king of the Franks as a means of receiving the gifts of his subjects and of promulgating his capitularies. At the head of the See also:administration was placed the archchaplain, and an ecclesiastical See also:chancellor was substituted for the See also:ancient ref erendarius. Ecclesiastical reform was continued under Pippin, Bishop Chrodegans of Metz uniting the See also:clergy of Metz in a See also:common See also:life and creating canons (see See also:CANON). Pippin died on the 24th of See also:September 768 at St See also:Denis, leaving two sons, Charles (See also:Charlemagne) and Carloman.
