Pepin the Short was educated by the monks of St. Denis.

It was this pope who dethroned Childeric. He also had him tonsured (this was the shaving off of hair as a sing of religious devotion. Pepin attacked the Lombards in Italy to defend the next pope, Stephen II because they were threatening to take Rome. He also gave the cities he conquered in central Italy to the pope in what has been called the Donation of Pepin.
In 772 the Lombards took some the cities Pepin gave to the papacy and marched on Rome. Pope Adrian I demanded that these cities be returned to the papacy and asked Charlemagne for help. Charlemagne attacked the Lomdards in Italy and forced them to leave the papal territories and besieged their capital, Pavia. He confirmed the donation of his father, Pein, and the Pope gave him the title of patrician. In 799 the people of Rome rioted against Pope Leo III, who fled to Charlemagne and asked him to restore him. Charlemagne went to Rome and the pope crowned him Imperator Romanorum (Emperor of the Romans). The pope did so assert Rome's independence from the Byzantine emperors.
