Brief biography of Pipin

The eldest - Carloman - received Australian, Alematia and Thuringia. The second is Pipin - Neustria, Burgundy and Provence. The son from the second marriage - Griff - received only a small possession. Therefore, immediately after the death of Karl, the Troubles began. The griffin, torn by his mother, Zonnekhilda, demanded an equal share from the brothers, but Pipin and Carloman, united, deprived him of even what his father gave and concluded in the Ardenne castle.

Pipin and Carloman were ruled by the kingdom of the Franks as major kings from the Merovingian dynasty. The first years of their reign took place in the fight against Aquitania, Alemannia and Bavaria, which recently broke away from the Kingdom of the Franks. In the city, they invaded Alemania, ruined the country, and, gathered a rich tribute and taking many hostages, reached the Danube.

Meanwhile, the enemies of Pipin and Carloman, among the Frankish nobility, accused them of usurpation of power. Therefore, in the city after that, Pipin and Carloman moved to Bavaria. The Duke Odill took a very good defensive position, but Frankov was frightened and requested peace. Pipin and Karloman rejected his proposals, the army of the Bavarians defeated his head, and Odilon himself was captured.

The looting of Bavaria lasted about two months. At this time, the Aquitaine Dukes Gunold and Gatton, taking advantage of the lack of majoromes, attacked Neustria and burned the chartra. Pipin and Carloman turned the army against the Aquitans, and they were forced to swear allegiance. Soon the Aquitaine Dukes quarreled among themselves. Gunold blinded his brother and took the whole duchy of himself, however, after a while, tormented by remorse, cut his hair into the monks, dressing the duchy of the son of Vaifaru.

Taking advantage of this, the francs joined the northern part of Aquitaine to their kingdom. Pipin invaded Alemania. After two years of stubborn war, Carloman came up to his aid. Having bribed the close associates of the Duke of Theobald, the Franks captured his entire army in captivity, and the duke himself was executed. Alemania was devastated, the inhabitants were lined with a tribute, some of the lands were confiscated, the rest of it was divided into two districts controlled by the columns.

Tired of the atrocities committed, in the city of Karloman completely transferred the government of the state to his brother, and himself went to the monastery. Then Pipin freed Grifo from the conclusion and gave him several counties, but he immediately rebelled against his brother. Grifon captured Bavaria, overthrowing the Duke of Tassilon and entered into an alliance with the Aleman Duke Lanfried.

Pipin went against them by war and won. Griff was again forgiven and received the duchy of Neustria, but did not calm down, fled to Aquitaine to Weifara and again began to weave intrigues against Pipin. Only in the city, this Pipin seemed little to G., and he intended to occupy the royal throne. Zakhary answered this that the king should be the one who belongs to the royal power.

In November of the same year, Pipin convened in Suasson a general meeting of the Franks, which chose him as a king. Hilderic III was deposed and tonsured in monks, and Pipin in the city at the end of G. Stefan appeared to Pipin in Pontion. Having secluded with Pipin in the chapel, dad, kneeling and sprinkling his head with ash, begged him to send an army against the Langobardians.

Pipin solemnly vowed to return to the pope all the lands selected by Astulf. In gratitude for this, Stefan anointed the kingdom of Pipin and his two sons in Saint-Denis. At first, the nobles opposed Pipin’s decision to start a war in Italy, but then they heeded his arguments. In the summer of G., he accepted all the proposals of Pipin, recognized his dependence on the francs, promised to return all the captured lands to the pope and not to encroach on them anymore.

However, as soon as Pipin went behind the Alps, Astulf neglected all his promises and again attacked Rome. Pipin took a second campaign against the Langobardians, broke them again and again besieged Astulf in Pavia. This time, Pipin's demands were more stringent and humiliating. Langobardia handed Rome to Rome all the lands on the coast of the Adriatic Sea.

Pipin expelled the Arabs from all cities, except for Narbonne, and after a three -year siege freed it. At the same time, G. Pipin took two successful campaigns against the Saxons and overlaid them a tribute. Weifar refused, and Pipin began the war. At the decisive moment of Vaifara’s confrontation, his uncle threw it, and the initiative passed to Pipin. Vaifar fled to the mountains, where he was soon killed by a traitor.

Pipin planted the Duke of Lupa in Aquitaine. Shortly after this victory, Pipin is a rang. Feeling the approach of death, he convened the clergy and nobles in September Denis and divided the kingdom between his two sons. Wife: Perty.

The son of Karl from the second wife, Griffon, received incomparably less than children from his first marriage - only small possession. As soon as Carl Martell was buried in the Saint-Denis Abbey, Troubles and Wars began. The griffon, excited by his mother, took possession of Lan and demanded an equal share with his brothers. Carloman and Pipin went to him by war, took away the little that he received by his father, and enclosed the griffon in the Arden castle.After that, the brothers had to wage a difficult war against the Aquitans, Bavartsev and Alemanov that had fallen away from them.

From there they went to Alemania and reached the shores of the Danube, demanding gifts and hostages everywhere. Since the enemies accused the sons of Martell of the fact that they were predators who took the power of the legitimate dynasty, Pipin and Carloman, entered the throne of one of the Merovingian, Hilderic III, without giving him no real power. After that, in the city, the position chosen by Odilon on Leha, covered with dowels and swamps, was extremely strong.

However, the Duke was frightened by the preparations of the Franks and requested peace. Pipin and Karloman rejected all his proposals, burst into the Bavarian camp through the swamp, defeated them and pursued them to Inna. Before this decisive battle, the papal envoy, whom Odilon persuaded to be an intermediary, the name of the Apostle Peter and his successor demanded the cessation of hostilities.

After the battle, Pipin with a mockery told him that at the end of the war one can see, whose deeds God considers right. Odilon was taken prisoner for the Rhine, but the next year, Karloman and Pipin returned the duchy to him. Fifty -two days, the francs robbed and ravaged the land of the Bavarians until the uprising of the Aquitain Dukes Gunold and Gatton forced them to return.

Taking advantage of the fact that the military forces of the Franks are distracted into Bavaria, Gunold invaded Neustria and burned the chartre. But barely Carloman and Pipin moved their troops against him, the Aquitans, having defeated, swore allegiance to them. The Aquitaine Dukes soon quarreled among themselves, and Gunold, blinding his brother, took possession of all the duchy.

Tormented by remorse, he soon handed over the duchy of Vifaru to the son and tonsured monks. Pipin attached the entire northern part of Aquitaine to his possessions. Following the attack of the Saxons and the new uprising of Alemanov distracted the brothers to the east. Carloman was the war of war against the Saxons, and Pipin opposed the Alemans. The stubborn war lasted three years.

Finally, in the city of Carloman, he invaded Alemania, entered into negotiations with the rebels and, with the help of treason, took their entire army. Duke Theobald was captured and sentenced to death. After that in Canistatt, Carloman ordered to kill his adherents in thousands. All of Alyonia was devastated, the surviving residents were forced to pay tribute and give the army to the winners-francs.

Some of the lands were confiscated, and the conquered region was divided into two districts, the management of which was entrusted with graphs. But after all these atrocities, the authorities ceased to attract Carloman. Pipin, the remaining one at the head of the department, returned freedom to Gryffon and gave him several counties. Soon he again took up the weapon. Upon learning that the Bavarian Duke Odilon died, the Griffon in the city of Alemansky Duke Lanfried immediately supported this rebellion.

Pipin opposed them, reached the shores of Inna, restored Tassilon’s power, and Lanfried and Griffon was captured. After that, Alemania began to be controlled by the Frankish Commissioners. Pipin again forgave his brother and gave him a duchy in Neustria. Griffon, however, did not calm down - he fled to Aquitaine to Weifara and began to weave intrigues against Pipin. He was killed only in G.

Thus, to G. Pipin took advantage of the coming world to complete the work of his ancestors and consolidate the Frankish throne for his offspring.
