Pepin the Short's greatest achievements include solidifying the Carolingian dynasty by being the first king of the Franks from that line and securing the Papal States for the Pope. He deposed the last Merovingian king, Childeric III, effectively ending Merovingian rule and establishing a more centralized authority. Pepin also initiated military campaigns that expanded Frankish territory, and he strengthened the relationship between the Frankish kingdom and the Catholic Church, which laid the groundwork for the future power of the Carolingians.

Pepin the Short, the founder of the Carolingian dynasty, became the ruler of the Kingdom of the Franks with the help of Pope Zachary, who dethroned the last Merovingian king. The next pope, Stephen II, asked Pepin for help against the Lombards whose army was advancing on Rome. Stephen re-consecrated Pepin as king and, in return, Pepin assumed the role of ordained protector of the Church. Pepin defeated the Lombards and donated territories in central Italy to the Papacy (the donation of Pepin). Pepin had had an ecclesiastical upbringing. Pepin's son, Charlemagne also assumed the role of ordained protector of the Church and was crowned emperor by Pope Leo III. The subsequent generations of the Carolingians were also supporters of the church. However, they were busy fighting each other.
