Pepin of Heristal, Carolingian mayor of the palace, who reunited the Frankish realms in the late Merovingian period. A grandson of Pepin the Elder, he succeeded to his position in the kingdom of Austrasia around 680. In 687, he extended Carolingian rule to the other Frankish kingdoms, Neustria and Bourgoyne, but retained members of the Merovingian dynasty as figurehead monarchs in all three. Two years later he extended his control over the Frisians, a pagan people living on the North Sea coast. Pepin's death was followed by a civil war and succession of his illegitimate son Charles Martel.
Pepin married Aupaide OF SACHSEN in Mistress. Aupaide was born in 654 in Austrasia, France; died in 748. [Group Sheet]
