Pepin was Italian nobility who took sides in the War of Carolingian succession.

He is my 30 x great-grandfather.

He was born in 817 or 818¹, son of King Bernard I of Italy, and his wife Cunegundis². I don’t know where he was born, but since his father was King of Italy, it is likely he was born in Milan.

Titles

He held the title of Lord of Péronne and St-Quentin, both communes in northern France².

Family

Pepin married², but the name of his wife is not known. Since some of his descendants inherited land in the Vexin region, it is possible she was a relative of Nibelung, the Count of Vexin².

Together they had five children²:

• Bernard
• Pepin
• Heribert
• Cunegundis
• An unnamed daughter who married Berengar, Count of Bayeux.

Notable events

In the War of Carolingian succession, Pepin supported Emperor Lothaire.

Death

Pepin died sometime after 840¹. I do not know where, what of or where they buried him.

Lineage

This person is my 30 x great-grandfather.
