Charlemagne's father, Pepin the Short, became king by seizing power from the Merovingian dynasty, which had ruled the Franks for centuries but had become weak and ineffective. In 751, Pepin was anointed king by Pope Zachary, legitimizing his rule and marking the beginning of the Carolingian dynasty. This alliance with the Church strengthened his position and set a precedent for the divine right of kings in the Frankish kingdom.
