Griffo, the third son, may be dismissed from our notice at once, as he was from the government of the kingdom, his brothers, Carloman and Pepin, taking advantage of his weakness to dispossess him. After this act of supremacy, Carloman and Pepin were for some time content to act as Mayors  \nof the Palace, in the districts of Neustria and Austrasia respectively, under the nominal sovereignty of Childeric III, the last of the fainéant kings, whom they set up as a puppet.  \n1. Who ruled as the puppet king of France at this time?  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n\nComplete the following chart, noting where/how/if each son of Charles Martel held power in France.  \nCharles Martel  \nPepin  \nCarloman distinguished himself by attacking the Saxons and other tribes which threatened aggression. In 744 , Pepin severely punished a revolt of his father's old enemy (Eudes, Duke of Aquitaine, a.k.a. Odo the Great), who had been compelled to do homage to the Frankish crown. Pepin soon had no sharer in his power or fame. Carloman was not made for a soldier, and, under the sudden impulse of devotional feeling, resigned his office in 747, and retired into a Catholic monastery.  \n2. How did Pepin find himself holding sole power in France?  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\nPepin, thus left sole lord of France, did not hastily attempt to cut prejudice against the grain. Feeling his way gradually, he sounded popular opinion for three years, on the subject of changing the royal dynasty, and placing the crown on the head of one who had a good right arm to defend it. Finding himself strong enough at last to take decided measures, Pepin quietly dethroned Childeric III.  \nShaving off Childeric’s long hair, the symbol of royalty among the early Frankish kings, Pepin sent him to one monastery at St. Omer, and Childeric’s son Thierry to another at Fontenelle. This accomplished, Pepin proceeded to obtain justification for his acts from the Pope.  \n3. What grooming style was a symbol  \nof royalty among the early Frankish kings?  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n\nSeeking approval from the Pope was a novel step. Although the bishops of Rome had great spiritual influence over Christendom, in virtue of their alleged descent from St. Peter, their temporal authority was by no means admitted out of their own diocese. Pepin was a wise man in his generation, though short-sighted as far as posterity was concerned. He saw clearly enough that no sanction which he could obtain for his acts was likely to be so binding upon the minds of his subjects, and the world at large, as that pronounced by a power which had already fastened its yoke on the soul and conscience.  \n4. What do you imagine would be the long-term consequences of  \nacknowledging the Pope as having the power to approve a leader’s right to rule?  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\nThe Pope, Zachariah, was not insensible to the importance of the Frankish monarchy, being at the time of Pepin's accession especially in need of help against Astolpho, king of the Lombards, who threatened to seize on the Eternal City itself. When, therefore, Pepin's envoys arrived at Rome, and conveyed their master's application, the pontiff did not hesitate to answer that it was truly fitting for one to be king in name who was king in deed.  \n5. Why did Pope Zachariah approve of Pepin as ruler of France?  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\nThus fortified against  \nopposition, Pepin proceeded to fulfill all the ceremonies attaching to the kingly dignity. Pepin and his queen, Bertha, were duly crowned and consecrated by Boniface, the \"Apostle of Germany,\" and Bishop of Mainz.
