    It’s more accurate to Martel and his Frankish army ended Muslim incursions into WESTERN Europe. Muslim (Ottoman) incursions into Eastern Europe continued into the late 17th Century, ending with the relief of besieged Vienna by Austrian, Holy Roman and Polish-Lithuanian troops led by King Jan III Sobieski. From that point the Turks were slowly pushed out of eastern Europe.

      No, you don't know the power and savagery of the Umayyad empire.

      Its a misconception that there was a “conquest.” In terms of primary sources the battle of tours was largely described as a church raid gone wrong for the Umayyads. It wasn’t until contemporary historians like Edward Gibbon did Tours become this big deal.
      In many ways France was nothing like it ended up to be. This was before the Carolingian Renaissance so really all there was were churches which were largely undefended and perfect targets for raiders. Brian Catlos of University of Colorado has a couple good books about the topic that really dig into the primary sources.

      @@lumanate1493 The battle of Tours was essentially a large scale raid in force. The goal was to pillage churches over a large area, then bring back a massive train of plunder. The Umayyad army saw the Frankish infantry and thought: "this will be an easy win". By the end, many of the Umayyad cavalry were slain and all the loot was recovered by the Franks.

      @@pathfinderlight spot on. Only thing I would disagree with is the words “large scale.” The primary sources never talk about the numbers so we will never know forsure how big the battle actually was. However, we can probably guess it was MUCH smaller than typically reported/depicted in history books/media. Had it truly been “large” that is something that we can assume would have been discussed as size tends to be a big deal to those writing their own history. That said the Franks only have one primary source where it is not described as a big deal and the Umayyads nonchalantly just say the raid went bad and the leader of the raid died. Neither side depict it as anything but a raid leading many historians to guess it probably wasn’t that large.

    The most interesting monument to the victory of Charles the Hammer was the massive mound of skulls the Franks built after the battle. It was a recognizable feature of the terrain for almost two hundred years. Muslim religious requirements stipulated that a corpse had to be buried promptly in order to assure entrance into Paradise. Franks must have been eager to put an end to that kind of thinking.

At the the time the umayyads were expanding pretty much anywhere that held economic significance and while they were not able to finish off the Byzantine empire they captured many of the most important parts of their empire including the entirety of the middle east.

In other words, Charles Martell was a lot more like a Captain of the Guard and much less like a butler, that's why he was able to quickly organized his forces and command them effectively in battle.

    As far as I readed the books of that battle youre history is kind of correct ! To counter the big numers of cav the franks had verry big shields who where verry heavy and big battle axes ! with succes . This moslim invasion courding the books was one big cav force of pm 30.000 light and heavy cav. Charles martel had only 8a 9000 well trained infantry men ad his disposal. But he had also a small anquitane cavalery force . This cav he used the last day while the battle was going on to attack the muslim camp. So lots of muslim riders turned there back to the battle and where in a hurry to ride to there camp to save all things they had plundered the last months ... Once Rahman was killed a panic broke out and all muslim riders where fleeing to save there lives. If you saw lord of the rings the charge of the rohirrim the where with 8000 horsemen. The arab invasion had almost 4 times more cav... Charles martels inf was very heavy inf and the light can was no match for the franks.

    Its a misconception that there was a “conquest.” In terms of primary sources the battle of tours was largely described as a church raid gone wrong for the Umayyads. It wasn’t until contemporary historians like Edward Gibbon did Tours become this big deal.
    In many ways France was nothing like it ended up to be. This was before the Carolingian Renaissance so really all there was were churches which were largely undefended and perfect targets for raiders. Brian Catlos of University of Colorado has a couple good books about the topic that really dig into the primary sources.

    I have read that the Muslim advance in Gaul was a raid not an attempt to conquer and reside in Gaul. The raiders had their loot stored behind combat. Martel had soldiers raid the Muslim camp. Having lost what they were after, the raiders retreated southward.
    The Catholic Church feared Muslim invasion and financed Martel's efforts. So he was able to train and equip a standing army before the Muslim attack. Financing standing armies cost lots of $$$. The raiders were probably surprised when they encountered a large well trained and well armed resistance.

      The Franks were not an army, but a group of well trained guys in permission.They needed to "se dérouiller les muscles".As they encountered the tourists, they could not resist giving them " une bonne dérouillée" !
      This " fait divers" has been excessively exagerated by muslim journalists who spoke of " la chaussée des MARTYRS" for the bunch of tourists having got " une dérouillée" and had some contusions and some bleeding nose.In Franken nobody alluded to this "brève échaffourée."
