Charlemagne is regarded as a member, but not the founder, of the Carolingian Dynasty. The dynasty was named for his grandfather, Charles Martel. It is said to have been started by Charlemagne's father, Pipin the Short, when he was crowned in 751. After the death of Louis the Pious, the dynasty went into decline, gradually losing power, largely because of conflicts among its members. The last monarch of the Carolingian dynasty was King Louis V the Indolent, who died in 987.
