Note 115 — Chapter VIII · THE BEGINNINGS OF THE CAROLINGIAN DYNASTY OF FRANKISH KINGS
Reading edition
The date is almost certainly wrong. Pepin was first acknowledged king by the Frankish nobles assembled at Soissons in November, 751. It was probably in 751 (possibly 752) that Pope Zacharias was consulted. In 754 Pepin was crowned king by Pope Stephen III., successor of Zacharias, who journeyed to France especially for the purpose.
