Carolingian Dynasty. King of Aquitaine; Duke of Maine.
Pepin was the second son of Emperor Louis the Pious and his first wife, Ermengarde of Hesbaye. When his father assigned to each of his sons a kingdom (within the Empire) in August 817, he received Aquitaine, which had been Louis's own subkingdom during his father Charlemagne's reign.
In 822, Pepin married Ingeltrude, daughter of Theodobert, Count of Madrie, with whom he had two sons: Pepin II (823-after 864), and Charles (825/830 - 4 June 863), who became Archbishop of Mainz. Both were minors when Pepin died, so Louis the Pious awarded Aquitaine to his own youngest son, Pepin's half-brother Charles the Bald. The Aquitainians, however, elected Pepin's son as Pepin II. His brother Charles also briefly claimed the Kingdom. Both died childless. Pepin also had two daughters, one of whom married Gerard, Count of Auvergne.
