The characteristics they shared with many Merovingian female saints may be mentioned: Regenulfa of Incourt, a 7th-century virgin in French-speaking Brabant of the ancestral line of the dukes of Brabant fled from a proposal of marriage to live isolated in the forest, where a curative spring sprang forth at her touch ; Ermelindis of Meldert, a 6th-century virgin related to Pepin I, inhabited several isolated villas ; Begga of Andenne, the mother of Pepin II, founded seven churches in Andenne during her widowhood ; the purely legendary " Oda of Amay " was drawn into the Carolingian line by spurious genealogy in her 13th-century vita, which made her the mother of Arnulf, Bishop of Metz, but she has been identified with the historical Saint Chrodoara ; finally, the widely-venerated Gertrude of Nivelles, sister of Begga in the Carolingian ancestry, was abbess of a nunnery established by her mother.

During the reign of Pepin the Short, in the 8th Century, Othmar founded the Carolingian style Abbey of St. Gall, where arts, letters and sciences flourished.

Water skiing was invented in 1922 when Ralph Samuelson used a pair of boards as skis and a clothesline as a tow rope on Lake Pepin in Lake City, Minnesota.

The wide area of the lake stretches from Bay City, Wisconsin, in the north, down past Pepin, Wisconsin, and Reeds Landing, Minnesota, in the south, with Pepin being just upstream from where the Chippewa River enters the Mississippi.

There are three marinas on the lake: the Lake City Marina, and Hansen's Harbor, both in Lake City, and Dan's Pepin Marina in Pepin, Wisconsin.

During the World War II years the company was led by Schueg's son-in-law José ' Pepin ' Bosch.

He was also the father of Pepin the Short and grandfather of Charlemagne.

Martel was born in Herstal, the illegitimate son of duke Pepin II and his concubine Alpaida.

His grandfather was Pepin the Short.

* Pepin was proclaimed King of Aquitaine, his territory including Gascony, the march around Toulouse, and the counties of Carcassonne, Autun, Avallon and Nevers.

In 830, at Wala's insistence that Bernard of Septimania was plotting against him, Pepin of Aquitaine led an army of Gascons, with the support of the Neustrian magnates, all the way to Paris.

The disaffected Pepin was summoned to his father's court, where he was so poorly received he left against his father's orders.

At Jonac, he declared Charles king of Aquitaine and deprived Pepin ( he was less harsh with the younger Louis ), restoring the whole rest of the empire to Lothair, not yet involved in the civil war.

The conflict between mayors was ended when the Austrasians under Pepin the Middle triumphed in 687 in the Battle of Tertry.

After this, Pepin, though not a king, was the political ruler of the Frankish kingdom and left this position as a heritage to his sons.

It is not clear if Pepin himself wielded the scissors, but after a brief struggle the king's hair was severed.

Pepin shortly thereafter ordered the shearing of Childeric's teenage son Theuderic, whose blonde hair was reported to reach nearly to his waist.

Childeric and Theuderic, bereft of their long hair ( Pepin was said to have kept the two severed manes as trophies ), were sent to live in monastic confinement.

Stephen now anointed Pepin at Saint-Denis in a memorable ceremony that was recalled in coronation rites of French kings until the end of the ancien regime in 1789.

Over time, however, Papal dependence on the Holy Roman Emperor was loosened through the quarrels of Louis the Pious and his sons, the future emperor Lothair I, Pepin I of Aquitaine and Louis the German.

With Constantine ’ s supporters largely dealt with, Stephen wrote to the Frankish king, Pepin the Short, notifying him of his election, and asking for a number of bishops to participate in a council he was seeking to hold to discuss the recent confusion.

As Pepin had died, it was Charlemagne and Carloman I who agreed to send twelve bishops to participate in the Lateran Council of 769.

He encouraged the deposition of the last Merovingian king of the Franks, Childeric III, and it was with his sanction that Boniface crowned Pepin the Short as King of the Franks at Soissons in 752.

Pomesanian leader Pepin unsuccessfully besieged the city, but soon he was captured and tortured to death.

However, Pepin also had a mistress named Alpaida ( or Chalpaida ) who bore him two more sons: Charles and Childebrand.

* Pepin of Italy, second son of Charlemagne, born Carloman and later named Pepin

There are a few places named Pepin in the United States:

With Gerberga he had two sons, the older of whom was named Pepin after his grandfather, marking him according to Carolingian tradition as the heir of Carloman, and of Pepin the Short.

The two eventually rescue their mother Bellisant, sister of Pepin and wife of the emperor of Greece, by whom she had been unjustly repudiated, from the power of a giant named Ferragus.

Maiden Rock, on Lake Pepin, is one site said to be the locale where a Dakota woman named Winona leapt to her death.

He is sometimes called the Short or the Little or, rarely the Great As he was named for his grandfather, Pepin of Heristal, in turn named for his grandfather, Pepin of Landen, both mayors of the palace, Pepin the Short has sometimes been numbered Pepin III.

The man who answered his call was Pepin II of Aquitaine, whom he had named " Patrician ", a title that caused a serious conflict.

When Charlemagne sent his young son Pepin to Italy as King of the Lombards Angilbert went along as primicerius palatii, a high administrator of the satellite court.

As the friend and adviser of Pepin, he assisted for a while in the government of Italy.

Alpaida also bore Pepin another son, Childebrand.

The Frankish kingdoms at the time of the death of Pepin of Heristal.

In December 714, Pepin of Heristal died.

After the 768 death of Frankish King Pepin the Short, his son Charles consolidated his control over his kingdom and became known as " Charles the Great " or " Charlemagne.

The assumption of the crown in 751 by Pepin the Short ( son of Charles Martel ) established the Carolingian dynasty as the Kings of the Franks.

* 841 – In the Battle of Fontenay-en-Puisaye, forces led by Charles the Bald and Louis the German defeat the armies of Lothair I of Italy and Pepin II of Aquitaine.

As emperor he included his adult sons, Lothair, Pepin, and Louis, in the government and sought to establish a suitable division of the realm among them.

According to Frankish custom, Louis had expected to share his inheritance with his brothers, Charles the Younger, King of Neustria, and Pepin, King of Italy.

In the Divisio Regnorum of 806, Charlemagne had slated Charles the Younger as his successor as emperor and chief king, ruling over the Frankish heartland of Neustria and Austrasia, while giving Pepin the Iron Crown of Lombardy, which Charlemagne possessed by conquest.

But in the event, Charlemagne's other legitimate sons died – Pepin in 810 and Charles in 811 – and Louis alone remained to be crowned co-emperor with Charlemagne in 813.

In 815, he had already given his two eldest sons a share in the government, when he had sent his elder sons Lothair and Pepin to govern Bavaria and Aquitaine respectively, though without the royal titles.

Then Lothair finally set out with a large Lombard army, but Louis had promised his sons Louis the German and Pepin of Aquitaine greater shares of the inheritance, prompting them to shift loyalties in favour of their father.

Pepin returned to Aquitaine and Judith – after being forced to humiliate herself with a solemn oath of innocence – to Louis's court.

Immediately, fearing that Pepin would be stirred up to revolt by his nobles and desiring to reform his morals, Louis the Pious summoned all his forces to meet in Aquitaine in preparation of an uprising, but Louis the German garnered an army of Slav allies and conquered Swabia before the emperor could react.
