Background |
| |
Son of Carloman, the first Vicarius Christi (Vicar of Christ) of the newly formed Catholic Church in 742. As the eldest, his name was almost certainly Carloman. |
| |
In 751, he accompanied his father Carloman and uncle Pepin on their successful invasion of Italy to capture Rome. However in 752, the Byzantines counter attacked killing his father, the 1st Catholic leader (Zacharias). |
| |
Stephen along with his brother managed to escape back to Frankish territory where Pepin undertook a lavish ceremony and the first "coronation" in history at St. Denis Bascilica where "Pope" Stephen crowned King Pepin (his uncle) as patricius Romanorum (Patrician of the Romans). |
| |
Both Pepin and Stephen remained in creative development of the Catholic Church at St. Denis until the Franks launched their fleet and attack on Rome in 755. The Byzantine garrison were slaughtered to the man. Pepin then engaged the forces of Lombard King Aistulf showing no quarter. |
| |
Within less than a year, the once "invincible Lombards" had been cut to pieces by the professional Frankish Army. By 756, Pepin had conquered all the territory formerly held by the Exarch of Ravenna and driven King Aistulf. Historic myth claims that Pepin permitted Aistulf to live and that he "accidentally" died hunting soon after. Yet there is no hiding the Franks were somehow possessed warriors in how they dispatched the Lombards. No prisoners. No noble terms for later rebellion. |
| |
By the end of 756 after the elimination of all major threats upon the Italian Peninsula, Pepin then undertook one of the most extraordinary and unique actions in history- he ensured that the lands previously occupying the Byzantine Christian Exarch of Ravenna were given to the Pontiff and the Catholic Church, now named the Roman Catholic Church for the first time in history. |
| |
Pepin left a sizeable part of his army in Italy in the service of his nephew Stephen, and returned to launch a bloody assault on the Saracens in Gaul, driving the once "invincible Moors" out of Gaul, integrating the Acquitaine region fully into his kingdom. |
| |
However, in 757 Stephen was mysteriously poisoned, presumably by an agent of Constantinople. The leader of the Catholic Church then went to his younger brother Paul I. |
