Born in 768 or 769 to Charlemagne and the noblewoman Himiltrude, Pepin developed a humped back after birth and stayed at court even after his father dismissed his mother and remarried. Around 781, Charlemagne rechristened a half-brother "Pepin" - a move that likely marked the elder Pepin's disinheritance. In 792, he revolted alongside a group of leading Frankish nobles, but the plot was discovered before it could be carried out. Charlemagne spared him execution, had him tonsured, and exiled him to the monastery of Prüm, where he remained until his death in 811.
