Answer
Charles Martel died in 741. Carloman, his son, succeeded him as ruler of the Franks. However, Carloman did not have as much power as Charles Martel had. Carloman was a weak ruler and the Franks began to lose territory. In 747, Carloman abdicated and entered a monastery. His brother, Pepin the Short, became the ruler of the Franks.
