Who was Pepin the Short and what did he do?
A:Pepin the Short was king of the Franks from 752 until 768. Son of Charles Martel and father of Charlemagne, he has been described as the son of a greater man and the father of a greater man. However Pepin's reign was historically important, since he embarked on an ambitious program to expand his power.Intensely pious as a result of his ecclesiastical upbringing, he helped in evangelising the Saxons. When Pope Stephen II asked Pepin that lands now held by the Lombards be "restored" to the papacy because four centuries earlier Constantine had granted them to his predecessor, Sylvester, King Pepin accepted Stephen's word that the document was genuine and ceded a great wedge of land along the Adriatic coast to Stephen. The document Pope Stephen used was actually a forgery and is now called the "Donation of Constantine." While Pepin certainly helped the pope and his successors, he arguably did not help the Church in this instance, as the papacy became a prize for the great families of Rome and its neighbourhood, resulting in centuries of clerical infighting, corruption and open warfare.
Who was the king of the franks from 768 to 814?
Charles became king over half the kingdom of his father (Pepin II, more commonly known as Pepin the Short) in A.D. 768, and three years later over the other half as well, when his brother died. Then on Christmas Day in A.D. 800, he was crowned by the Pope in Rome as the first Holy Roman Emperor. He is known to history as Charlemagne the Great. He died in A.D. 814.
How did Pepin strengthen the Frankish kingdom?
A:Pope Stephen II asked Pepin, king of the Franks that lands now held by the Lombards be "restored" to the papacy, because four centuries earlier Constantine had granted them to his predecessor, Sylvester. This claim was based on a forgery that Stephen showed Pepin, now called the "Donation of Constantine." King Pepin accepted Stephen's word that the document was genuine and ceded a great wedge of land along the Adriatic coast to Stephen. This in turn became known as the "Donation of Pepin" and according to traditional later accounts, Pepin personally laid the Donation of Pepin on the tomb of Saint Peter.The Papal States created by this donation made the pope a feudal lord and gave real financial value to his office. While Pepin certainly helped the pope and his successors, he arguably did not help the Church, as the papacy became a prize for the great families of Rome and its neighbourhood, resulting in centuries of clerical infighting, corruption and open warfare.
