Interestingly, in France, we call it the battle of Poitiers, not of Tours. Also, you forgot to mention that the last name of the French King, Charles Martel was actually a nickname. "Martel" means "hammer" in old French. He was literally "Charles the Hammer."

I used Martel as his nickname in this video, it is even stressed at the end of it I think. Also, he was never the French King. Here in Poland this battle is known as Battle of Poitiers too :) But since the video is english, I used the english name.

He was the de facto ruler of Frankia though which might have been what he meant. He certainly did act like the king should act. And to be a bit of a pedant it was Martellus. On a sidenote this is why his name in many countries has ended up becoming Charles (whatever the word for hammer is in the language) everyone knew that he was The Hammer, a nickname he certainly earnt.

Fun fact: Charles Martel was the grandfather of Charlemagne.

I'm French, I'm a teacher of medieval history, and I live in Tours, so when I saw the title I was like "whaaat?!?", thinking there was a battle I had never heard of - which would be most unlikely. But when I saw the date I was released "ok, it's the battle of Poitiers". In fact the exact location is highly discussed, nobody knows, it probably took place in the country between Poitiers and Tours. But in France we call it the battle of Poitiers and it's one of the most famous battles of French history - even if we actually don't know much about it.

There are two types of sources for this "Battle of Tours" or "Battle of Poitiers" as we name it in France, the contemporary sources and later sources (both christians and muslim). The contemporary sources saw this battle as a simple skirmish battle between a raid party of al-Andalus troops made of "Saracens" (most of them Berbers, only a few Arabs !! it is also interesting to note that some Christians were also among them) against the "men of the north" as you quoted it. But the later sources, IXth century and after, started to turn it into a big battle against two religions. And then, during the crusades, the religious aspect took a way bigger part, and during the XIXth century the battle was used as propaganda by the french governments to teach the glorious history of France - Le roman national. So, saying that right after the battle the word spread around Europe that Martel defeated a muslim invasion is not true, as far as the contemporary sources let us know. Arabian culture influenced great things in Iberia. Flamenco, the Spanish guitar, the guitar itself, the fact Al-Andalus had lit and paved walkways centuries before Paris. They brought Algebra, the writtings of great philosophers, cartography, astronomy, you name it.

frankwally - Yes, at one time the European (Christian/Catholic countries had a great trade going with the East, via the seaways - carry goods by sea was much cheaper, and generally speaking also safer - BUT the various Muslim leaders/Caliphs, sought to choke off that trade and economy. I believe there was one North African Caliph, who bragged that the Europeans could not even safely float a plank of wood along the Mediterranean! They in effect shafted such of the European economy for many decades - and also continually plundered the coastal areas for booty and women for their harems. It is very likely that many of those who have European ancestry at that time, also have lineage to women and girls who were taken for the harems, and that we now have Arab, Berber etc. bloodlines as a result of them being made pregnant by their 'Muslim masters'.

Love the history and LOVE the little captions you give the commanders....

just wanna say...how freaking cool it is to be nicknamed "The Hammer" in history... stuff of legends👍

Welcome Bazbattles, I really appreciate your channel, which I have been watching for a few months now. However, if I allow myself to comment today, it is because as French, living in the city of Arles, I am deeply shocked by its location on your map! XD Yes I know, but good Arles has never been on the waterfront, but where the Rhone splits into two arms. That's otherwise everything else I enjoy, I like your videos.

We need another Hammer and we will have one.

Great job! I learned a lot! Battle of Talas next? I'd like to know more about that one!

Thank God for Charles Martel.

The leader does the work and takes responsibility. In turn, the soldier swears trust loyalty and does what the leader says. -smart person

It's a pity that more people aren't interested in history not realizing, in the words of George Santayana: "Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it".

So, consider these shortcomings as a sacrifice to get more videos done each month, at least until I manage to optimize things. Mongol Empire is just too important to leave it behind. Kalka River/Legnica/Kulikovo/Ain Jalut were all interesting battles, but I'm unable to tell when I would cover them.

But all these immensely interesting events will eventually be covered aswell!

Rex Galilae - you may want to look again into this explanation. Not only this is a topos (a recuring story, more like a theme like the devine aid or sign or testimony) - the help seeking foreign who comes to call the noble to aid him in rescue or revenge - but who can we call for the sources in this narrative? And is it consistent with what we know about the sources, circumstances and society of the time? And there is the answer a big NO. 1. Arabs and "Moors" were attacking the southern coast and deeper into hispania already when Roderic took the throne. The Umayyad conquest campaign was still ongoing, spreading the reign over northern africa and above the sea. Caliph Uthman already decleared the intention to conquer it. 2. When Roderic took the throne he litterally splitted the kingdome between supporters and foes. If one of his own noblemen would need assistance to take revenge for such a crime (which would be not that hard at all in gothic society afawk) he would not have to search it by the people who are decleared enemies and showed little hesitation to take over, enslave and do worse things to the people they conquer - or at least to bring a war over his folk, including his relatives. Remember that "king" in gothic society is no sacrosanct, unreachable person but the leader who still needs to prove himself worthy over and over again. Especially in battle, which is why they tended to be killed. 3. As mentioned in this film we comment below, the islamic leaders knew that europeans battled and feuded each other intensly and saw their opportunity in this. Roderic took over 710 and died in battle 712. Many historians believe that it wasnt the lack of military chance or might that killed him, but the other gothic noblemens will to sit on the throne themselves. Without the will to cooperate completly a fierce battle is hard to win, especially if you have no men convinced to fight for or under the right person. With his death and the following fights of the few survivors for who should be his successor there was the perfect time to conquer the peninsula. And they did. 4. The chronicles of 754, the timly closest source we can call, did not mention the rape revenge topos at all. Same goes with the "histora gentis langobadorum", written at the end of the 8th century. The first source which mentioned Count Julian and the rape story is Ibn 'Abd al Hakam. He wrote his chronicle nearly 150 years later. Sadly this source is deeply corrupt. Hakam tried to find events and stories to teach and justify islamic law(s), which he and his family were teaching. His family was already fallen in disgrace by the caliph because of their orthodox views and teachings. His sources are usually the hearsay stories he got told, rarly citing any sources or reliable witnesses. However, this earliest account is not talking about rape but pregnancy and affair. Subsequently, we know that Julian gathered the sons and loyalists of the former visgothic king in his city Ceuta - meanwhile the arabs tried to lay hands on Oppa or Oppas, who was a relative of the mentioned king and maybe righteous successor. They executed a couple of nobles to get him in their hands. We lose tracks of Julians after the short episode between Rodrics coup and the conquest. I could continue, but overall i hope i made it clear that the legend of the rape revenge is to dismiss according to actual historical research. If there was something like that at all involved it was used in an ongoing civil war between an usurper and the nobility of the visgoths.

The takeaway is have strong faith if you lose it all, you still died with dignity and knowing that you are going to place where you will be received as hero such as heaven. Have something to fight for and secondly know your enemy well. Never fight for material or booty, or your force will abandon you the second, you think loss is certain. Fighting to elevate an abstract values and ideas is much better than chasing after material possessions and lusts.
