Pepin the Short was King of the Franks from 751-768.
Pepin died in 768 from unknown causes and was succeeded by his sons Charlemagne and Carloman. Although unquestionably one of the most powerful and successful rulers of his time, Pepin's reign is largely overshadowed by that of his more famous son, Charlemagne.
