EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print depicts the coronation of Pepin III, also known as Pepin the Short, who was crowned King of the Franks in the year 751. Pepin, who had previously served as Maire du Palais (Mayor of the Palace) for the realms of Neustrie, Bourgogne, and Austrasie, was chosen by the Frankish nobility to succeed his father, King Chilperic III, following his father's unexpected death. The coronation took place in the royal palace at Soissons, which was a significant location for the Frankish monarchy. The ceremony was a grand affair, attended by the Frankish nobility and clergy, and marked the formal transfer of power from Chilperic III to Pepin. In the print, Pepin is shown being crowned by Pope Stephen II, who had traveled from Rome to perform the ceremony. The pope is depicted wearing his papal robes and holding the crown in his hands, while Pepin kneels before him in humility. The scene is filled with the trappings of royal power, including banners, flags, and the royal insignia of the Franks. The custom of the Frankish kings being crowned by the pope was a relatively new development in Frankish history, having been established only a few decades earlier. This tradition, which was based on the model of the Byzantine and Roman emperors, helped to strengthen the ties between the Frankish monarchy and the papacy, and marked the beginning of the Frankish kingdom's transformation into the Holy Roman Empire. This print provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich history of the Frankish monarchy and the customs and traditions that shaped it. The image of Pepin's coronation serves as a reminder of the complex political and religious dynamics that characterized the early medieval world, and the enduring influence of the past on the present.
