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.

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.

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. Likewise, the army that confront Martel was little more than a raiding force which was so insignificant we only have three primary sources on the battle entirely.

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.

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.

This narrator keeps mispronouncing the name of the chief Christian ruler. He calls him Charles “Martle”, to rhyme with “startle”. The correct pronunciation is Charles “marTELL”. (Rhymes with “cartel”.

Umayyad guys had the better eye shadow.

The Battle that ended Arab Conquest in Europe ? NO , Just Delayed it for 1,260 years , the end is near !

Where are you living and it what time zone? It's over since > 1.000 years. If you want re-live the "reconquista" there are great books and movies about it.

Not to be to picky but wasn't the throwing axe a main weapon of the Franks.

Mar-tell!

Imagine if the pope has not granted Charles request for a loan

Nowadays they just enter in little rubber boats and they locals just hand the country over

He is a few hundred years later in Spain.

The accent is on the second half of his surname! Also the extreme blood fountains are in very poor taste.

"Reconquista" "Navas de Tolosa" "Lepanto".

Charles Martle?

if the outcome of the battle went other way around, perhaps I might be writing this comment in Arabic or something

profound analysis, amazingly profound

Didn't realise the muslims ventured so far north into Gaul.

Great video , fantastic expose of the religion of peace

This is Wikipedia almost word for word.

It is Charles MARTEL not Charles Myrtle and it was the battle of Poitiers, not Tours.

Then don't use AI.

Definetely not because of the Battle of Nobles and Bagdoura which cut the Umayyads off from Al Andalus when they were still ruling from Damascus... 🙄

I've seen you commenting multiple times already, are you perhaps a little mad brown boy?

The name is MAR-TEL, not Martle. The narrator continually mispronounces the name. By the way, he is my 43rd great-grandfather.
