Pepin of Landen was a 7th-century political leader who served as the Mayor of the Palace in Austrasia. Born around 585, he rose to prominence as a powerful baron during the Merovingian era, eventually serving under King Dagobert I and later Sigebert III. Known as the Elder, he was a central figure in the Pippinid family, which would later play a significant role in Frankish history. He was recognized for his wise governance and influential counsel until his death in 640.
