Weis' "Ancestral Roots. . ." (190:10). Called Pepin of Herisatal. Mayorof the Palace in Austrasia.
The first of the great Carolingian Mayor of the Palace of Austrasia.Ruler of the Franks in 687, he managed, through the Battle of Tertry in687, to unite Neustria and Austrasia under his own "puppet" Merovingianking. But the power struggles in northern Gaul seriously weakened thepower of the merovingians and their mayors. The Aquitanians had their ownDuke; the "Patricius" of Provence was for all practical purposes anindependent ruler.; the aristocrats of Burgundy paid little attention tothe Franks in the north.34
Pepin established himself as mayor of the palace in Austrasia after thedeath of Dagobert II in 679 and defended its autonomy against TheodoricIII of Neustria and Ebroon, Theodoric's mayor of the palace. Defeated byEbroon in 680 at Lucofao (near Laon), Pepin gained his revenge on theNeustrians in 687 at Tertry (near Pironne) and became sole effectiveruler of the Franks. He nevertheless retained Theodoric III on the throneand after his death replaced him with three successive Merovingian kings.After several years of warfare Pepin defeated the Frisians on hisnortheastern border (689) and married his son Grimoald to Theodelind,daughter of the Frisian chief Radbod. He also forced the Alemanni torecognize Frankish authority again and encouraged Christian missionariesin Alemannia and Bavaria.
