(André Roux: Scrolls, 215.) (Stuart, Page 241, Line 343-39.) (Abbott, Page 499.) (K.S.B. Keats-Rohan (Ed.), Family Trees and the Roots of Politics: The Prosopography of Britain and France from the Tenth to the Twelfth Century , ISBN: 0-85115-625-8, (Rochester, NY: Boydell & Brewer, Inc., 1997), Settipani, Christain: Chapter 11: " Les comtes d'Anjou et leurs alliances aux Xe et XIe siècles", Page 227.). AKA: Boson II, King de Bourgogne Boson II became King of Lower Burgundy in 879. AKA: Boson II, Comte de Vienne Boson II became Count of Vienne in 870. AKA: Boson II, Count de Bourges. Born: before 854, son of Beuve=Bouin, Comte de Bourgogne and Richilde d'Arles, Boson II is presumed to have been at least 10 years of age when he became Count. Note - between 0869 and 0882: In 869, Boson II's sister Richilde married Charles the Bald. In 871, he was made Count of Vienne, and became the Count of Bourges a year later. After arranging an exchange with Count Theudebert of Vermandois, Boson also acquired the Countship of Autun, so that his territory included most of Burgundy and Provence including the regions of the Lyonnais and Viennois. When Charles the Bald was crowned emperor in 875, he made Boson his dux et missus Italiae sacrique palatii archiminister. In other words, Boson ruled Italy for Charles, and once there took the opportunity to marry Ermengarde, daughter of Emperor Louis II. He was the King of Provence from 879 to 887, being elected at Montaille (near Vienne) on 15-Oct-879 the King of Burgundy. As soon as he was crowned, he consolidated his position, appointed the powerful bishop of Autun, Adalgar as his archchancellor, and made Geilo, Abbot of Tournus, the bishop of Langres. There was also some collusion between Boson and his Lotharingian countrymen who had rallied in support of Hugh, Lothar II's bastard, in his attempt to claim the right to rule Lotharingia. Boson's elevation and Hugh's pretentions had the effect of uniting all the Carolingians - Louis the Younger (Le Jeune), Charles the Fat (Le Gros), Louis III and Carloman - and their supporters against him. Hugh was dealt with quickly, but Boson presented a more serious obstacle to Charles Le Gros as well as to Carloman and Hugh the Abbot. Charles seized the Italian lands of Boso's mother-in-law Engelberge, kidnapped Engelberge herself, appropriated the temporal of the archbishopric of Besançon and occupied Lausanne. By 881, Boson had lost the Jura and transjurane region to Charles Le Gros. The county of Autun was conferred on Richard, Boson's brother, who supported Carloman from then on. In 882, Vienne was attacked by the Frankish army under Richard who captured Boson's wife and his daughter. Abandoned by the Pope, his brother and his chancellor who defected to Charles Le Gros, and forsaken by the bishops and counts, Boson died in historical obscurity. Married in 876 at France: Ermengarde=Trungard, Princess of Italy,, daughter of Louis II, King of Italy and Engelberge de Spolète (Ermengarde would become Queen of Provence through her marriage with Boson).

552. Louis I, King10 de France (Rosamond, Page 106, 116.) (André Roux: Scrolls, 191.) (Stuart, Page 130, Line 171-40.) (Castelot, Tome 1, Page 369.). Also Known As: Louis "Le Pieux." Also Known As: Louis "Le Débonnaire." Born: in Aug 778 at Chasseneuil, Lot-en-Garonne, Aquitaine, France, son of Charlemagne, Rex Francorum et Langobardorum and Hildegard, Countess de Linzgau. Note - between 0781 and 0800: In 781, at age 2, Louis I, "Le Pieux", was crowned and anointed King of Aquitaine by Pope Hadrian I, at the same time as his older brother Pépin was made King of Italy. Louis, whose twin brother had died at birth, was the third of Charlemagne's sons by his wife Hildegard. The Diviso Regni of 806 indicates that Louis was to have Aquitaine as an independent Kingdom upon his father's death. Aquitaine was in effect a March; for much of Louis' reign as sub-king he and his officials were occupied in quelling Gascon revolts and launching offensives into Spain. Unrest had never completely died out in the Pyrenées since the annexation of Aquitaine in 768, and more especially after the disastrous ambush of the Frankish vanguard in Roncesvalles in 778. In about 788, Chorso, Duke of Toulouse was captured by a Gascon named Adélric, and then released after being forced to swear an oath of allegiance to the Gascon or Basque leader. In 793, the Sarracens invaded Septimania, burned the suburbs of Narbonne and marched on Carcassonne, but in 795 Bahlul-ben- Machluc sued with Louis for peace. In 800, he successfully laid siege to Barcelona and subsequently captured Tortosa, Huesca and Pamplona and formed links with the Kingdom of the Asturias. Baptized: on 15 Apr 781 (On 15 April 781, Louis was baptized by Pope Hadrian I in Rome. The next day, Easter Sunday, he was confirmed in his title of King of Aquitaine). Married in 794: Ermengarde d'Esbay,, daughter of Enguéran=Ingram, Count d'Esbay and N? N? Note - between 0800 and 0837: Louis I established monasteries in Nouaillé (a cell of St. Hilaire of Poitiers), Gellone and St. Martin-de-Tours. After the death of his brothers Pépin and Charles in 810 and 811 respectively, Louis was crowned at Aachen on 13 September 813, Emperor and heir to all of Charlemagne's lands, by Charlemagne himself without any assistance nor even the presence of the Pope. All sources, Frankish as well as papal, refer to Louis as emperor from then on. Charlemagne died 5 months later. All of Louis' sisters were required to quit the palace and retire to their own estates. His cousins, the offsprings of Bernard (Pépin III's half brother) were exhiled: Louis forced Count Wala to become a monk at Corbie; Adalhard was exhiled to Noirmoutier to be held there in custody by the Abbot; Bernhard returned to Lérin and Gundrada had to retreat to St. Radegund's convent of Sainte Croix in Poitiers. Only Theodrada was left unmolested as abbess of Notre Dame at Soissons. Louis I was also known as Louis, "Le Pieux". On 27 February 814, upon learning of the death of his father, and at the age of 36 years, he left Doué-la-Fontaine, in Anjou, to go to Aix-la-Chapelle. This new emperor, enterred this capital, and poised himself in front of the tomb of Charlemagne. So oversome with grief, his forehead touched the stone floor of the church. Hence the name "Le Pieux". Since he was kind, relative to his times, he was also known as "Le Débonnaire". For himself, he preferred to adopt the title "by divine Providence, Emperor Augustus". When Pope Leo died in May of 816, Stephen IV was elected Pope, and crowned Louis the Emperor on Sunday 5 October by placing a crown on his head during mass at Rheims. He also secured the release of some Roman exhiles in Francia. This crowning was among the first attempts to integrate the Papacy into the institutional framework of the Empire. Louis, 'lest he be led astray in satisfying the natural desires of the body' married Ermengarde, daughter of Count Ingramn. Charlemagne established Doué-la-Fontaine, Chasseneuil (Louis' birthplace), Angéac and Ébreuil as royal residences to maintain Louis and his household. At an assembly in Aachen in July 817, Louis made provisions for his sons' inheritance through the "Ordinatio Imperii". In his preface he states that the unity of the empire preserved for Louis by God should not be destroyed by men. Lothar was given the title of emperor, and as co-ruler with his father at once made heir to the empire, and appointed King of Italy in the event of his father's death. Bernard, then King of Italy was not mentioned, but the implication is that Bernard would be subordinate to Lothar should Louis die. Pépin was made King of Aquitaine (plus Gascony, Toulouse, Carcassonne, Autun, Avallon and Nevers) and Louis, The German, was made King of Bavaria (plus Carinthia, Bohemia, the lands of the Avars and Slavs and the royal manors of Lauterhofen and Ingolstadt). Pépin and Louis were to meet on an annual basis with Lothar to consult and together find "measures to take in the interest of perpetual peace". They could neither start a war nor marry without the approval of their elder brother. Lothar even had the right to de-throne them after three warnings. That same year, 817, Stephen IV obtains his political independence, thus severing the tie between Rome and the Frank Empire as conceived by Charlemagne. The arrangement was neat and all contingencies covered except for the one which took place. After his first wife's (Ermengarde) death, Louis, in 819, married the beautiful Bavarian Judith, daughter of Comte Welf of Bavaria. On 13 June 823 she gave birth to a son. He was called Charles. In September, 824, forgetting his nickname "Le Débonnaire", Louis totally ravages the Bretagne which was rebelling. In 829, at the General Assembly convoked in Worms (Wurm), Louis announces that he is forging a Duchy for his son, Charles, and gives him Alamania, Alsace, Rhetia, and part of Burgundy. The Co-Emperor Lothar, disagrees and has his name removed from imperial decrees and diplomas. Toward the end of 829, the political scene gets very complicated with allegations that Judith had intimate rapports with Bernard, Count of Barcelone, and ultimately desiring the death of the three sons of Hirmingarde. In Mai of 830, in Compiègne, Lothar and Pépin of Aquitaine lead a revolt. Louis is forced to cede on every point of contention. The apanage of the young Charles is eliminated, Judith is locked up in Poitiers at the Monastery of Sainte-Radegonde. In 831, the bishops would note how she had a talent for converting men's hearts and souls, and would allow her to rejoin her husband. In 832, Pépin and Louis revolt against their father. On 24 June 833, the Army of Louis Le Pieux faces those of the rebels. The field of battle in Rothfeld would be named the Field of the Lie (Lügenfeld). The Emperor and his sons begin negotiations. The night of 29 to 30 June, it is clear that the supporters of Louis would be influenced by his three sons. On the morning of 30 June, Louis would have to surrender. It would not be until 1 October that Louis would be deposed by the Assembly led by Agobard, Archbishop of Lyon and Eblon, Archbishop of Reims. On 7 October, Judith is sent to the Monastery of Tortone, Bernard to Prüm, and Louis to the Monastery of Saint-Médard-de-Soissons, where in public ceremony, he is forced to lay down his sword, stripped of royal vestments, he is made to don the coarse cloth of a penitent. In 834, Louis and Pépin, tired of being under the control of their brother Lothar, decide to free their father. On 28 February, they succeed in freeing their father and in August in Blois, Lothar swears to Louis Le Pieux, that he would never leave Italy except by his direct command. Throughout 834, the Normands -- Danes, Swedes and Norwegians -- resume their raids. On 28 February 835, the General Assembly proclaims that Louis was innocent of all previous accusations thus clearing the way for him to be re-established as Emperor on the Throne at Saint- Stephen of Metz. In 837, thanks to the intercessions of Judith, Charles "Le Chauve", receives a Kingdom composed of Frisia, between the Seine, the Meuse and the sea and in September 838, he receives the crown at Quierzy-sur-Oise. In 838, Marseille is devastated by the Sarrasins. On 30 May 839, the Empire is divided in half, with Lothar taking the East, and Charles' lands extend through Provence, Lyon, Toul and Geneva and all the lands of the West. Louis "the German", gets to keep only Bavaria. Married in 819: Judith de Bavière,, daughter of Welf II, Count de Bavière and Égilwich=Heilwig, Abbess de Challes (Louis married Judith upon the death of his first wife, Ermengarde. She bore him a son named Charles in 823. It is clear that Louis was as fond of Charles as Jacob was of his Benjamin). Died: on 22 Jun 840 at Ingelheim, Germany, at age 61 In 840, while attempting to keep Louis "the German" in line, Louis "Le Pieux" is taken ill in Salz. Feeling near death, he sends Lothar his sword and the crown on the condition that he would be loyal to Judith and abide by the lands division agreed to in Worms in 839. He died on an island, near Ingelheim on 22 June.

Married in 819: Judith de Bavière,, daughter of Welf II, Count de Bavière and Égilwich=Heilwig, Abbess de Challes (Louis married Judith upon the death of his first wife, Ermengarde. She bore him a son named Charles in 823. It is clear that Louis was as fond of Charles as Jacob was of his Benjamin). Died: on 22 Jun 840 at Ingelheim, Germany, at age 61 In 840, while attempting to keep Louis "the German" in line, Louis "Le Pieux" is taken ill in Salz. Feeling near death, he sends Lothar his sword and the crown on the condition that he would be loyal to Judith and abide by the lands division agreed to in Worms in 839. He died on an island, near Ingelheim on 22 June.

1104. Charlemagne, Rex11 Francorum et Langobardorum (Rosamond, Page 131.) (André Roux: Scrolls, 191, 255.) (Stuart, Page 130, Line 171-41.) (Augé, Tome I, Page 335.) (Castelot, Tome 1, Pages 369, 424.). AKA: Carolus Magnus. Born: on 2 Apr 742 at Jupille, Belgium, son of Pépin III, King des Francs and Berthe=Bertrada de Laon. Married before 764: Luitgard N? Note - between 0767 and 0814: Charlemagne's title after 800 was: Carolus serenissimus augustus a Deo coronatus magnus et pacificus imperator Romanum gubernans imperium, qui est per misericordiam Dei rex Francorum et Langobardorum. It was designed to include the romans in the Frankish empire without centering the Empire upon them. Charlemagne stressed the royal and Frankish bases for his power. Charlemagne was King of the Franks (des Francs) 767-814, and Emperor of the West from 25 December 800. King of the Francs (767 - 814) and Emperor of the Occident (800 - 814), Charlemagne succeeded his father Pépin "Le Bref" in 768 and reigned with his brother Carloman. Between 782 and 785, hardly a year passed without confrontation with the Saxons. In 772, during the first major expedition, the Irminsuls were destroyed. That year also saw the beginning of a 30-year war against the Saxons as the Francs ravaged the Saxon land by steel and by fire. In 773, the Francs route the Lombards who seek refuge in Pavia, and Gerberge and her children take refuge in Verona, where Charles takes them prisoners. Didier's son, Adalgise, successfully escapes the assaults and spends the rest of his life in Constantinople. On 5 June 774, Charles reclaims the title of King of the Lombards and of the Francs -- Rex Francorum et Langobardorum, as he triumphantly enters Pavia. In 775 the castle of Siegburg and the castle of Eresburg were "reorganized". Near Hoxter, a large number of Westphalian Saxons are slaughtered in the Sachsen-graben. In 777, at Paderborn, an assembly inaugurated the ecclesiastical organization of Saxony, which divided the country into missionary zones. In 777, Charles had been visited by Solaman Ibn-al-Arabi, who had turned against his master, the Emir Abd-al-Rahman and offered Charles the cities entrusted to his care. In 778, Charles crosses the Pyrenees, occupies Pampelune, and marches on Sarabossa. But upon learning that the Saxons had once more rebelled and were crossing the Rhine, he turned back. On 15 August, the rear guard, under the command of the Seneschal Éginhard, the Count of the Palace Anselm, and of Roland, Duke of the Marche of Brittany, is attacked by Basques or Gascon forces. In the meantime, the Saxons ravaged the Frankish holdings from Cologne to the Moselle. In 779 and 781, Widukind, a Westphalian noble, defeated the Frankish armies in the Sütel mountains. Charlemagne is reputed to have had 4,500 Saxons beheaded in Verdun. In 782, the country was divided into counties administered by Saxons. At Attigny, in 785, Widukind and his son-in-law Abbi submitted to Charlemagne who enforced their baptism and became their Godfather. In December, 795, Hadrian I was succeeded by Pope Leon III. By 797, Saxony was conquered. In a brilliant military campaign (773-774) he put an end to the Lombard Dynasty and took the title King of the Lombards. He conquered Bavaria (781 - 788), and then the land of the Avares (792 - 799), a people related to the Huns. 797 proved to be a year of diplomacy. In the early part of the year, several Sarasin chiefs (Zata, and Abdallah) gave homage to Charlemagne at Aix; and Gerona, Caserres and Vich became occupied by the Francs. While in Aix, Charlemagne also received the ambassador of the Emperor of Constantinople, Constantin VI arriving with offers of friendship. In Heerstall, later in the year, the Huns make peace. Charles also receives the ambassador from Alphonse=Alfonso, King of Galicia and of the Asturias. On 25 April 799, the Feast of St. Mark, the Pope is assailed by aristocrats loyal to Byzantium in front of the Church of Saint Stephen and Sylvester. He is thrown in the Monastery of Saint Erasmus, but escapes and seeks refuge under the protection of the Duke of Spoleto. On 23 December 800, according to the Liber Pontificalis, the Pope is cleared of all charges brought by the rebellious aristocrates. Charlemagne's task is to determine the appropriate punishment for those who have perpetrated the assault on the Holy Father. On 25 December 800, Pope Leon III crowned him Emperor of the Occident. This was made possible because the Emperor Constantin VI had effectively been dethroned by his mother Irene, who had him blinded and then proclaimed herself the "Basileus". Unfortunately, a throne occupied by a woman according to the Nomen Imperatoris, is a vacant one. The day after the crowning, Pope Leon III proclaims the year 1 of the Empire, and the money is stamped with the Pope's image on one side and that of Charlemagne on the other. Married before 769: Himiltrude N? (Himiltrude was Charlemagne's first wife). Married in 770: Désidérata de Lombardie,, daughter of Désidérius, King of Lombardy and N? N?

2208. Pépin III, King12 des Francs (André Roux: Scrolls, 191.) (Rosamond.) (Stuart, Page 129, Line 171-42.) (Castelot, Tome 1, Pages 269 - 283, 369.). Also Known As: Pépin "Le Bref." Born: in 714 at Austrasia, son of Charles Martel and Rotrude=Chrotrud, Duchesse d'Austrasie. Married circa 740: Berthe=Bertrada de Laon,, daughter of Charibert, Count de Laon and Bertrade N? (Berthe was for may years, at least since 740, the concubine of Pépin III. In 749 she convinced him to marry her). Note - between 0742 and 0753: Pépin III was baptized by the then future Saint Willibrod, famous apostle of Frisia and was brought up at the Monastery of Saint-Denis. He would protect the bishops. Upon the death of his father, Charles Martel in Quierzy-sur-Oise on 22 October 741, Pépin III received Neustria, Burgundy and the Provence. The next year, Pépin "Le Bref", whose surname was derived in the 9th. century because of his size, joined his older brother, Carloman in military operations in Aquitaine. They ravaged the region of Bourges and set fire to the Castle of Loches. By Autumn, they had pushed beyond the Rhine, defeated Duke Odilon of Bavaria and forcing the Allemanians to submit. In the year 743, they re-establish a Merovingian King by taking Childéric III from an abbey, purportedly one of the sons of Childéric II. In 744, Hunaud, son of Eudes, Duke of Aquitaine, undertakes his campaign in Allemania, crosses the Loire and destroys Chartres, burning its cathedral. The next year, he was forced by Carloman and Pépin III to retire at the Monastery of the Ile de Ré. Hunaud's son Waifre succeeds him. Pépin decides to free Grifon, his half-brother, and to thank him, Grifon joins a rebellion against Pépin, refusing Pépin's offer of a dozen Neustrian countships. In 749, Pépin III forces the Allemanians in rebellion to submit as well as the Bavarians. Grifon escapes but dies that year on his way to seek the help Waifre, Duke of Aquitaine, near Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne. The Merovingian dynasty comes to an end in November of 751 when Pépin III receives the Holy Oil from Boniface, Bishop of Soissons, thus becoming King. His wife becomes Queen of the Francs the same day. Childéric III and his son Thierry both are shaven and they are sent to the Monastery of Saint-Berton, near Arras, and the Monastery of Saint-Wandrille, near Rouen, respectively. Pépin "Le Bref's" first royal campaign was to put down a revolt of the Saxons succesfully completed by 14 October 753, and he conducted a successful campaign in Brittany the same year. He deposed Childéric III and forced the Lombards to yield Ravenne and Pentapol to the Pope. He becomes the first King of the Caroligian Dynasty. In 742, according to the Gesta Episcoporum Autissiodorensium, he deprived the Bishops of Auxerre of power and possessions, thus strengthening his hold over northern Burgundy. On 28 July 754 at the Cathedral of Saint-Denis, Pope Stephen II reanointed Pépin king, and anointed Pépin's two sons Charles and Carloman and his Queen Bertrada, declaring the Carolingians to be the legitimate rulers of the Frankish kingdom. The Pope's motive was embedded in his desire to have Pépin's protection from the Lombards. While Pépin had been anointed by Archbishop Boniface, the recognition by God's ambassador on earth made him the legitimate King of the Francs "by the Will of God". Pépin III, Charles and Carloman all were accorded the title Patricius - Protectors of Italy and the See of Saint Peter. On 11 July 755, Pépin fixes the pounds weight of silver at a value of 22 cents. The Roman monetary system had long disappeared. This act marks the beginning of an accounting system to replace the then most-frequently used barter. Pépin on several occasions had to dominate the Lombards who constantly assailed Rome. By May of 756, Alstof, Chief of the Lombards, swears to leave Rome be and yields 22 cities. Upon his death, as the result of a fall from a horse, the papacy would govern Rome thenceforth. Other cities were still technically within the Byzantium Empire, ruled by Constantin V at the time from Constantinople. Relations between Pépin and Constantin were excellent, and there was even a question at one point of a wedding between Pépin and Constantin's daughter, Gisèle. This did not materialize, and Gisèle became Abbess of Chelles. 760 marked the beginning of the 10-year War for the conquest of Aquitaine, between Pépin III and Duke Waifre. It begins by Pépin's invasion of Berry, followed in 761 by the destruction of the castles of Bourbon, Archambault and Chantelle and the Francs also seize Clermont. While in 762, Pépin takes Bourges, Duke Waifre dismantles Poitiers, Limoges, Périgeux and Angoulême so that the Francs cannot take advantage of them. In 763, Pépin's army lays the Limousin to the torch and massacres the population. By March of 767, Pépin's army has invaded Aquitaine by way of Narbonne and occupy Septimania, Toulouse, Albi and Rodez. In February, 768, Duke Waifre is killed. Died: on 24 Sep 768 at Saint-Denis, Seine, Ile-de-France, France, Some 7 months after having defeated Duke Waifre of Aquitaine, Pépin III, in accordance with the Franc customs, divided his Kingdom between his two sons, Charles and Carloman.
2209. Berthe=Bertrada12 de Laon (André Roux: Scrolls, 191.) (Stuart, Page 158, Line 214-42.). Also Known As: Berthe "au Grand Pied." Married Name: Le Bref. Married Name: des Francs. Born: circa 720, daughter of Charibert, Count de Laon and Bertrade N?, Berthe was known as Berthe-au- grand-pied because one foot was larger than the other. Married circa 740: Pépin III, King des Francs,, son of Charles Martel and Rotrude=Chrotrud, Duchesse d'Austrasie (Berthe was for may years, at least since 740, the concubine of Pépin III. In 749 she convinced him to marry her). Note - in 770: The winds of history in the year 770 no longer blow from Aquitaine but from Lombardy. This Kingdom, north of a strange Italy of the time [Italy being bitten into little pieces by the aspirations of the Lombards to the North, the Byzantines and the Pope. Charles, though the "devoted defender of the Holy Church and its auxilliaries in all things" as he refers to himself, should logically and normally have followed the politics of his father with respect to Rome, and therefore to protect the papacy from its enemies, the Lombards. But he would hear none of it. Carloman casts a benign eye on the Lombards, where Didier, the ancient Duke of Tuscanny still reigned. Bertrada, the widow of Pippin, despairing at the level of hate which separated her two sons, took matters into her hands, as a strong-willed woman is sometimes wont to do when endowed with power. She visits Carloman near Seltz [in Alsace], and secures his agreement from him. She crosses the Alps under the pretext of "worshiping in Rome the temples of the Holy Apostles" and visits Pope Stephen III. In fact, she had but one thing on her mind: To reconcile her two sons by bringing Charles closer to the Lombards, since Carloman is the friend of the ruler of Lombardy. The politics of the two brothers then would become tied to a common interest, That could be a first step. One could also marry Gisele, sister of Charles and Carloman to Didier's son. Unfortunately, Gisele is not yet nubile. In the meantime, Bertrada proposes the marriage of her son Charles with Désirée, Didier's daughter! The King of the Lombards accepts the proposal as does Charles. However, the future emperor is already attached to a young frankish woman, Himiltrude, who has born him a son and a daughter -- unfortunately, the son is hunchback. Although Himiltrude is only a concubine of the King, the Pope being furious with the developments bringing together his natural protectors, the Francs, with his natural enemies, the Lombards, calls the union of Charles to Désirée diabolical. How can the Francs, a race ".. endowed with such beautiful women ..." posibly consider a union with "...this fetid race of Lombards, the most perfidious, and odious of all races, who have never been counted in the race of civilized nations, and from whom leprosy came ..." Pope Stephen III exclaimed. Whiles Charles considers the matter, Bertrada gets Désirée and brings her to her son in Pavia. His first look at Désirée immediately caused him to miss Himiltrude. It seems that Désirée was the epitomy of ugliness. The marriage takes place anyway. Died: on 11 Jul 783 Bertrada died on the fourth of the Ides of July.

2592. Pépin III, King12 des Francs (André Roux: Scrolls, 191.) (Rosamond.) (Stuart, Page 129, Line 171-42.) (Castelot, Tome 1, Pages 269 - 283, 369.). Also Known As: Pépin "Le Bref." Born: in 714 at Austrasia, son of Charles Martel and Rotrude=Chrotrud, Duchesse d'Austrasie. Married circa 740: Berthe=Bertrada de Laon,, daughter of Charibert, Count de Laon and Bertrade N? (Berthe was for may years, at least since 740, the concubine of Pépin III. In 749 she convinced him to marry her). Note - between 0742 and 0753: Pépin III was baptized by the then future Saint Willibrod, famous apostle of Frisia and was brought up at the Monastery of Saint-Denis. He would protect the bishops. Upon the death of his father, Charles Martel in Quierzy-sur-Oise on 22 October 741, Pépin III received Neustria, Burgundy and the Provence. The next year, Pépin "Le Bref", whose surname was derived in the 9th. century because of his size, joined his older brother, Carloman in military operations in Aquitaine. They ravaged the region of Bourges and set fire to the Castle of Loches. By Autumn, they had pushed beyond the Rhine, defeated Duke Odilon of Bavaria and forcing the Allemanians to submit. In the year 743, they re-establish a Merovingian King by taking Childéric III from an abbey, purportedly one of the sons of Childéric II. In 744, Hunaud, son of Eudes, Duke of Aquitaine, undertakes his campaign in Allemania, crosses the Loire and destroys Chartres, burning its cathedral. The next year, he was forced by Carloman and Pépin III to retire at the Monastery of the Ile de Ré. Hunaud's son Waifre succeeds him. Pépin decides to free Grifon, his half-brother, and to thank him, Grifon joins a rebellion against Pépin, refusing Pépin's offer of a dozen Neustrian countships. In 749, Pépin III forces the Allemanians in rebellion to submit as well as the Bavarians. Grifon escapes but dies that year on his way to seek the help Waifre, Duke of Aquitaine, near Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne. The Merovingian dynasty comes to an end in November of 751 when Pépin III receives the Holy Oil from Boniface, Bishop of Soissons, thus becoming King. His wife becomes Queen of the Francs the same day. Childéric III and his son Thierry both are shaven and they are sent to the Monastery of Saint-Berton, near Arras, and the Monastery of Saint-Wandrille, near Rouen, respectively. Pépin "Le Bref's" first royal campaign was to put down a revolt of the Saxons succesfully completed by 14 October 753, and he conducted a successful campaign in Brittany the same year. He deposed Childéric III and forced the Lombards to yield Ravenne and Pentapol to the Pope. He becomes the first King of the Caroligian Dynasty. In 742, according to the Gesta Episcoporum Autissiodorensium, he deprived the Bishops of Auxerre of power and possessions, thus strengthening his hold over northern Burgundy. On 28 July 754 at the Cathedral of Saint-Denis, Pope Stephen II reanointed Pépin king, and anointed Pépin's two sons Charles and Carloman and his Queen Bertrada, declaring the Carolingians to be the legitimate rulers of the Frankish kingdom. The Pope's motive was embedded in his desire to have Pépin's protection from the Lombards. While Pépin had been anointed by Archbishop Boniface, the recognition by God's ambassador on earth made him the legitimate King of the Francs "by the Will of God". Pépin III, Charles and Carloman all were accorded the title Patricius - Protectors of Italy and the See of Saint Peter. On 11 July 755, Pépin fixes the pounds weight of silver at a value of 22 cents. The Roman monetary system had long disappeared. This act marks the beginning of an accounting system to replace the then most-frequently used barter. Pépin on several occasions had to dominate the Lombards who constantly assailed Rome. By May of 756, Alstof, Chief of the Lombards, swears to leave Rome be and yields 22 cities. Upon his death, as the result of a fall from a horse, the papacy would govern Rome thenceforth. Other cities were still technically within the Byzantium Empire, ruled by Constantin V at the time from Constantinople. Relations between Pépin and Constantin were excellent, and there was even a question at one point of a wedding between Pépin and Constantin's daughter, Gisèle. This did not materialize, and Gisèle became Abbess of Chelles. 760 marked the beginning of the 10-year War for the conquest of Aquitaine, between Pépin III and Duke Waifre. It begins by Pépin's invasion of Berry, followed in 761 by the destruction of the castles of Bourbon, Archambault and Chantelle and the Francs also seize Clermont. While in 762, Pépin takes Bourges, Duke Waifre dismantles Poitiers, Limoges, Périgeux and Angoulême so that the Francs cannot take advantage of them. In 763, Pépin's army lays the Limousin to the torch and massacres the population. By March of 767, Pépin's army has invaded Aquitaine by way of Narbonne and occupy Septimania, Toulouse, Albi and Rodez. In February, 768, Duke Waifre is killed. Died: on 24 Sep 768 at Saint-Denis, Seine, Ile-de-France, France, Some 7 months after having defeated Duke Waifre of Aquitaine, Pépin III, in accordance with the Franc customs, divided his Kingdom between his two sons, Charles and Carloman.
2593. Berthe=Bertrada12 de Laon (André Roux: Scrolls, 191.) (Stuart, Page 158, Line 214-42.). Also Known As: Berthe "au Grand Pied." Married Name: Le Bref. Married Name: des Francs. Born: circa 720, daughter of Charibert, Count de Laon and Bertrade N?, Berthe was known as Berthe-au- grand-pied because one foot was larger than the other. Married circa 740: Pépin III, King des Francs,, son of Charles Martel and Rotrude=Chrotrud, Duchesse d'Austrasie (Berthe was for may years, at least since 740, the concubine of Pépin III. In 749 she convinced him to marry her). Note - in 770: The winds of history in the year 770 no longer blow from Aquitaine but from Lombardy. This Kingdom, north of a strange Italy of the time [Italy being bitten into little pieces by the aspirations of the Lombards to the North, the Byzantines and the Pope. Charles, though the "devoted defender of the Holy Church and its auxilliaries in all things" as he refers to himself, should logically and normally have followed the politics of his father with respect to Rome, and therefore to protect the papacy from its enemies, the Lombards. But he would hear none of it. Carloman casts a benign eye on the Lombards, where Didier, the ancient Duke of Tuscanny still reigned. Bertrada, the widow of Pippin, despairing at the level of hate which separated her two sons, took matters into her hands, as a strong-willed woman is sometimes wont to do when endowed with power. She visits Carloman near Seltz [in Alsace], and secures his agreement from him. She crosses the Alps under the pretext of "worshiping in Rome the temples of the Holy Apostles" and visits Pope Stephen III. In fact, she had but one thing on her mind: To reconcile her two sons by bringing Charles closer to the Lombards, since Carloman is the friend of the ruler of Lombardy. The politics of the two brothers then would become tied to a common interest, That could be a first step. One could also marry Gisele, sister of Charles and Carloman to Didier's son. Unfortunately, Gisele is not yet nubile. In the meantime, Bertrada proposes the marriage of her son Charles with Désirée, Didier's daughter! The King of the Lombards accepts the proposal as does Charles. However, the future emperor is already attached to a young frankish woman, Himiltrude, who has born him a son and a daughter -- unfortunately, the son is hunchback. Although Himiltrude is only a concubine of the King, the Pope being furious with the developments bringing together his natural protectors, the Francs, with his natural enemies, the Lombards, calls the union of Charles to Désirée diabolical. How can the Francs, a race ".. endowed with such beautiful women ..." posibly consider a union with "...this fetid race of Lombards, the most perfidious, and odious of all races, who have never been counted in the race of civilized nations, and from whom leprosy came ..." Pope Stephen III exclaimed. Whiles Charles considers the matter, Bertrada gets Désirée and brings her to her son in Pavia. His first look at Désirée immediately caused him to miss Himiltrude. It seems that Désirée was the epitomy of ugliness. The marriage takes place anyway. Died: on 11 Jul 783 Bertrada died on the fourth of the Ides of July.
