Pepin or Pippin (or Pepin Carloman, Pepinno, April 773 – 8 July 810), born Carloman, 
was the son of Charlemagne and King of the Lombards (781–810) under the authority 
of his father.

Pepin was the second son of Charlemagne by his then-wife Hildegard.[1] He was born 
Carloman, but was rechristened with the royal name Pepin (also the name of his older 
half-brother Pepin the Hunchback, and his grandfather Pepin the Short) when he was 
a young child. He was made "king of Italy"[2] after his father's conquest of the 
Lombards, in 781, and crowned by Pope Hadrian I with the Iron Crown of Lombardy.

He was active as ruler of Lombardy and worked to expand the Frankish empire. In 
791, he marched a Lombard army into the Drava valley and ravaged Pannonia, while 
his father marched along the Danube into Avar territory. Charlemagne left the 
campaigning to deal with a Saxon revolt in 792. Pepin and Duke Eric of Friuli 
continued, however, to assault the Avars' ring-shaped strongholds. The great Ring of 
the Avars, their capital fortress, was taken twice. The booty was sent to Charlemagne 
in Aachen and redistributed to all his followers and even to foreign rulers, including 
King Offa of Mercia. A celebratory poem, De Pippini regis Victoria Avarica, was 
composed after Pepin forced the Avar khagan to submit in 796.[3] This poem was 
composed at Verona, Pepin's capital after 799 and the centre of Carolingian 
Renaissance literature in Italy. The Versus de Verona (c. 800), an urban encomium of 
the city, likewise praises king Pepin.[4] The "Codex Gothanus" History of the 
Lombards hails Pepin's campaign against Benevento and his liberation of Corsica 
"from the oppression of the Moors."[5]

His activities included a long, but unsuccessful siege of Venice in 810. The siege 
lasted six months and Pepin's army was ravaged by the diseases of the local swamps 
and was forced to withdraw. A few months later Pepin died, on July 8, 810.[6]

He had one or more mistresses, whose names are not known for certain, and whose 
ancestry is not given from any reliable source although one has been conjectured to 
have been called Bertha, and she is believed to be the daughter of William of Gellone, 
count of Toulouse. Pepin had one son and five daughters (they were: Adelaide, 
married Lambert I of Nantes; Atala; Gundrada; Bertha; and Tetrada), all of whom but 
the eldest were born between 800 and Pepin's death and died before their 
grandfather's death in 814. Pepin's son was Bernard. Pepin was expected to inherit a 
third of his father's empire, but he predeceased him. The Lombard crown passed on to 
his illegitimate son Bernard, but the empire went to Pepin's younger brother Louis the 
Pious.
