You must be joking, 747 being the year Pippin the Younger became housemaster of the Holy Roman Empire anf one of three reported birth years of Charlemagne.
744 isn't bad either. Pippin the Elder thwarted an uprising in Alsace led by Theudebald. So there.
726 the start of the Iconoclast Controversies in Byzantium as the Emperor bans veneration of images. The present day use of icons in the Greek ad Russia churches shows how well that went.
