Pepin"s wife is unknown, she has been spuriously called "Rothaide de Bobbio". His heir inherited much Nibelungid territory and so historian K. F. Werner hypothesized a marriage to a daughter of Theodoric Nibelung. Their children were:
Bernard (c 844 – after 893), count of Laon
Gerberge (born c 854)
Pepin (c 846–893), count of Senlis and lord of Valois (877–893)
Herbert I of Vermandois (c 850–907)
Beatrix (born c 854)
Mathilde (born c 857)
Adelaide (born c 858)
Cunigunda.
