- From Pedigrees of Charlemagne's Descendants:
About a year after the young Charles, Carloman was born (773). For some reason that escapes us, his baptism was delayed. But when it was administered eight years later in Rom by the pope, the name Pepin was bestowed on him despite the existence of his hunchback half-brother who already bore that name. On the next day he was crowned king of Italy, where he spent much of his life, governing with the counsel of Abbot Adalard. He did 8 July 810, leaving his son Bernard as his successor and four young daughters whom Charlemagne reared as his own.
