Changes

Childeric III was the last [[Merovingian]] King of the Franks, reigning from A.D. 743 to 751. Scholars widely consider him as a highly ineffective and worthless monarch dominated by his advisors. This overeliance led to the Mayor of the Palace Pepin Martel summoning a council of nobles at [[Soissons]] which deposed Childeric and replaced him with Pepin, as King [[Pepin the Short]]. After being dethroned, he lived out the rest of his days in a monastery.
