Pepin was the first count of Vermandois, lord of Senlis, Peronne, and Saint Quentin.[1] He was the son of King Bernard of Italy and Cunigunda. [2] 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 , count of Laon ▪ Pepin , count of Senlis and lord of Valois ▪ Herbert I of Vermandois[3] ▪ Cunigunda ▪ Gunhilde de Vermandois who married first the Margrave Berengar I of Neustria and then Count Guy of Senlis
