Even on the very eve of battle, Pepin, anxious to avoid bloodshed, proffered reasonable terms. They were refused with contempt ; for they were believed to have been dictated by apprehension. The struggle was severe but short. The rude energy of the German swept their half-Roman brethren from the field. The king was taken ; Berchar fled, incapable of offering further resistance. From the battle of Testry dates the real foundation of the Carlovingian dynasty. It is true that Pepin, warned, perhap...s, by the fate of Grinovald, did not assume the name of king. He kept Theodoric on the throne, and contented himself with the title of Dux et Princeps Francorum ; but, by a significant innovation, the years of his office were henceforth reckoned in all public documents, with those of the Merovingian monarch. No sooner had he obtained the direction of affairs, than he inaugurated the policy which his Corlovingian successors so vigorously carried out. Making Austrasia the seat of his own government, he appointed his two sons to rule in the two other divisions of the empire.
