1st Answer:

really short

2nd Answer:

Attila the Hun was a dwarf. Pepin the Short, Aesop, Gregory the Tours, Charles 3 of Naples, and the Pasha Hussain were all less than 3.5 feet tall

MoreI spent some time trying to research this because I found the above answers hard to believe. What I was able to find was an article in German saying that Pepin is called "the Short" because of a mistranslation, during the Middle Ages, of a Latin term "minor." At the time it was given, it meant "younger," but it was rendered into later medieval Latin by a word meaning "short," and from this was rendered with equivalent words into French, German, and English. I was not able to verify this or find his true height in the time I could put on the task. Charlemagne, Pepin's son, was very tall.
