Note 6 — THE LIFE OF CHARLEMAGNE BY EGINHARD
A. J. (Arthur James) Grant translation
This is King Childeric III., who was deposed in 751 by a National Council, with the approval of the Pope. Pippin the Short was then elected king, and crowned by Boniface. With Childeric the Merovingian dynasty ends, and gives place to the curiously-named Carolingian, of which Charlemagne was the greatest representative.
