Years: 747 - 747
Carloman renounces his position as majordomo on August 15, 747, and withdraws to a monastic life, being tonsured in Rome by Pope Zachary.
All sources from the period indicate that Carloman's renunciation of the world was volitional, although some have speculated that he went to Rome for other, unspecified reasons and was "encouraged" to remain in Rome by the pope, acting on a request from Pepin to keep Carloman in Italy.
Carloman soon founds a monastery on Monte Soratte, then goes to Monte Cassino.
