Letter from St. Peter

In AD 756, Pope Stephen II is supposed to have send a forged letter from St. Peter in Heaven to King Pepin, telling him to help against the Lombards, or forget about entering heaven. Is there any truth to the story? 73.70.250.164 (talk) 07:02, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

2024.11.16, 11:47UTC | Carloman - older or younger brother of Charlemagne?

2024.11.16, 11:47UTC:

In the "top" section, Carloman is mentioned as being the older brother of Charlemagne:

"Succeeding his father as the Mayor of the Palace in 741, Pepin reigned over Francia jointly with his elder brother, Carloman. Pepin ruled in Neustria, Burgundy, and Provence, while his older brother Carloman established himself in Austrasia, Alemannia, and Thuringia."

whereas

In the "First Carolingian king" section, Carloman is 9 years younger than Charlemagne:

"As life expectancies were short in those days, and Pepin wanted family continuity, the Pope also anointed Pepin's sons, Charles (eventually known as Charlemagne), who was 12, and Carloman, who was 3." 2A04:241E:2302:5480:6516:4583:AE70:8FB (talk) 11:53, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
