Answer
Supportive of the Christian Church, Pepin made significant contributions to its growth and influence. He forged a close alliance with Pope Stephen II, offering military assistance against the Lombards and donating conquered territories to the papacy. This mutually beneficial relationship laid the foundation for the later coronation of Charlemagne as Holy Roman Emperor, solidifying the alliance between the Carolingian dynasty and the Church.
