688/90-714: Mayor of the Palace of Austrasie [Ref: Settipani Capet #4]
The royal successors of Clovis were woefully inefficient. They left the rule
of the kingdom to their Mayors of the Palace, and only showed themselves to
the people once a year, at the March parliament, when, adorned with crowns and
their fair hair flowing loose to their waists, they rode on a car drawn by
oxen. As they did little but eat and drink and enjoy themselves, they went by
the name of the sluggard kings, all power being in the hands of the Mayors of
the Palace. Among these mayors, Pepin of Heristal made himself conspicuous.
His home was near Spa, in the pretty woodland country about Liege. He made
the office hereditary in his family. [Ref: Wurts MCBarons p165]
The date given by almost every modern historian for the death of Charlemagne's
great-grandfather Pippin (the Fat) of Heristal is 16 December 714.
For instance, this is stated - without a source - by Eduard Hlawitschka in
'Die Vorfahren Karls des Grossen', _Karl der Grosse: Lebenswerk und
Nachleben_, Band I, Personlichkeit und Geschichte (Dusseldorf, 1965) p. 62 and
table. Christian Settipani in _La prehistoire des Capetiens 481-987_,
(Villeneuve d'Ascq, 1993), p. 154, describes this date as traditional, also
giving no source. Neither of these authors refers to any other date or
discusses the matter further.
The annals of many monasteries record Pippin's death in 714, and the source
for 16 December is 'Annales Mettenses priores', edited by Bernhard von Simson,
MGH SSrG 10 (Hanover & Leipzig, 1905) p. 19: "Pippinus princeps...in pace
obiit XVII. Kal. Ian.". The same month, without a specific date, is given in
'Annales Petaviani', edited by Georg Heinrich Pertz, MGH SS I p. 7: "domnus
Pippinus mortuus est in mense Decembrio".
Although more definite than "tradition", these apparently derive from a
copied record of his burial rather than his death, as suggested by 'Annales
Sancti Amandi', edited by Georg Heinrich Pertz, MGH SS I p. 6: "depositio
Pippino in mense Decembrio".
Pippin died at Jupille near Heristal & was buried at Saint-Arnoul in Metz,
the church dedicated to his grandfather. In the necrology of Saint-Arnoul,
most likely to be accurate, his death was placed on 15 November: "XVII
kalendas Decembris. Pipinus dux" [see Joseph Depoin, 'Obits memorables tires
de necrologes luxembourgeois, remois et messins', _Revue Mabillon_ 6
(1910-1911) p. 265.] [Ref: Peter Stewart SGM 5/4/2005-075811]
Support is given for his burial having taken place in mid-December by 'Annales
Tiliani', MGH SS I p. 6 (in parallel with the closely-related 'Annales Sancti
Amandi' quoted earlier): "depositio Pippini in medio Decembrio". If the
necrology of Saint-Arnoul is correct about his dying on 15 November, this
would make it more plausible that he was actually buried in Metz on 16
December.
As to the place of his death, I haven't yet found any particular evidence to
deduce that this was necessarily at Jupille near Liege as almost unanimously
stated by historians. I will keep looking into this - for the time being, I
have only found that on 2 March 714 he was ill nearby at Bakel, unable to
attest his own charter and forced to leave this duty to his wife ("Actum
Bagoloso villa publice, die secundo Martii. Anno IIII. regni domini nostri
Dagoberti regis. Et quia nos propter egritudinem in ipsa carta scribere non
potuimus, Blittrudem coniugem nostram rogavimus et potestatem dedimus, ut
ipsam firmare ad nostram vicem deberet", see MGH Diplomatum imperii I no. 6 p.
96).
Perhaps he was never well enough after that to travel far. According to
Egmondanus in his supplement to 'Annales Xantenses' (MGH SSrG 12 p. 36) he
died "apud Francorum gentem", and for what little that is worth it may have
been presumed ever since to mean in his principle place of residence - he was
organising a council to reform the Church at the time, so was probably as
active as he could be at the centre of affairs. [Ref: Peter Stewart SGM
