From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pepin, sometimes called Pepin II and Pepin the Middle, was the grandson and namesake of Pepin I the Elder through the marriage of Pepin I's daughter Begga to Ansegisel.[1] He was also the grandfather of Pepin the Short and great-grandfather of Charlemagne. That marriage united the two houses of the Pippinids and the Arnulfings which created what would be called the Carolingian dynasty. Pepin II was probably born in Herstal (Héristal), modern Belgium (where his centre of power lay), whence his byname (sometimes "of Heristal").

Alpaida 'Alpaïs' of CUDOT:

Alpaida
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the saint of this name, see Alpaïs of Cudot.
Alpaida (also Alpaïde, Alpaide, Alphaida, Alpoïde, Elphide, Elfide, Chalpaida; ca. 654 – ca. 714) was a Frankish noblewoman who hailed from the Liège area.[1][2] She became the mistress of Pippin of Herstal (635 or 640 – 16 December 714) and mother to two sons by him, Charles Martel (Charles the Hammer) (d. 22 October 741) and Childebrand I (678–751).[3]

In the Liber Historiae Francorum and the Continuations of Fredegar she is referred to as Pepin's wife
