Pepin 'The Short', King Of The Franks founded the Carolingian dynasty. Like his father, grand father, and great-great-grandfather, Pepin served as mayor of the palace in the Merovingian kingdom in
France and Germany. In each case, the mayor was the power behind the throne. In 751, an asse mbly of the Franks deposed Childeric, the last of the weak Merovingian kings, and proclaimed Pepin king.
Pope Stephen II, who ruled Rome, asked Pepin for help against the Lombard king, Pepin sent h is army to save Rome. The Lombards had captured Ravenna. Pepin recaptured the city and much of the nearby
territory, known as 'the Donation of Pepin,' helped build the political power of the pope. P epin added Aquitaine to his own kingdom, and began many important religious and educational reforms. His
son Charlemagne, carried on these reforms.
