After A.D. 639, the Merovingians became the Kings of the Franks, but none of them ever amounted to anything, and did no ruling, instead the "mayors of the palace" ruled the Kingdom, the last of these was Pepin II. In 751, Pepin asks the Holy Father if it was right that the man who exercised no political power should be King? The Pope replied in the negative, and Pepin the Short became King of the Franks.
