Could someone please explain? I'm missing what happened...
The AI restored the Merovingians to the Francian throne. A title that had been taken over by Charlie before the game start, and only one Merovingian remained alive at game start (with a claim). Surprisingly often, the AI forms a faction to restore him to the throne.

I've actually heard of a strategy involving restoring the Merovingians: start as the Byzantine emperor, make your heir who has 20 diplo your chancellor and with your now great state diplomacy invite Theoderic to court. De-monk him by giving him a bishopric, press his claim on the Francias, and then revoke them and hand them out as viceroyalties. Now if you can get Lombardy you're a good ways along towards a goal of SPQR.

And with some console work you can then play as the merovingian King. And if you make Karlomans Kingdom (middle francia?) it then becomes Austrasia.

That's actually not that bizarre - the Pope hired on the Pecheneg company but didn't pay them, and they revolted. That used to be a common occurrence a few patches back.
Well, the Pope usually has so much money it's quite rare for him to run out.
