Pepin, Count of Vermandois
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pepin (c. 815 - ) was the first count of Vermandois, lord of Senlis, Peronne, and Saint Quentin. He was the son of King Bernard of Italy and Cunigunda.
Pepin first appears in 834 as a count to the north of the Seine and then appears as same again in 840. In that year, he supported Lothair I against Louis the Pious.
Pepin's wife is unknown, but his heir inherited much Nibelungid territory and so historian K. F. Werner hypothesised a marriage to a daughter of Theodoric Nibelung. Their children were:
- Bernard (c.844-after 893), count of Laon
- Pepin (c.846-893), count of Senlis and lord of Valois (877-893)
- Herbert I of Vermandois (c.850-907)
- Cunigunda
- Gunhilde De Vermandois who married first the Margrave Berengar I of Neustria and then Count Guy of Senlis
