What if Childeric III wasn't deposed by Pippin III in 751? What would the consequences be for Francia into the later 8th/early 9th century? Could Charlemagne happen?
Let's assume that Pippin is still around, but the Pope decides that him and Boniface don't deserve the throne, maybe because of a Lombard threat of invasion?
At the time Childeric had a son (Theuderic, would be the V), who was similar age to Karl (who would become Charlemagne OTL, but not really period appropriate to call him such until after 800). Would he qualify for inheritance after Childeric dies (naturally) around 755?
