  • Charles Martel is my HERO !

  • Actually arabs were stopped from invading Europe in two decisive battles - at Constantinople and at Tours.

    While arabs themselves recognize their biggest defeat as the battle at Constantinople where they had ten times more casualties and lost thousands of ships at the hands of bulgarians.

    Battle at Tours is much more popular in the west because it happened in France.

  • @Ashengard111 In Europe at that time, the Eastern Roman or Byzantine Empire was the only stable and strong political entity available. If the Muslims had conquered Constantinople, they would use its vast wealth and resources to expand into Europe. The Frankish Kingdom may had to fight a two-front war against the Muslims. Much of Europe would probably be an Islamic land with the possibility of Christianity being a minor religion. 

  • @Ashengard111 T Some historians claimed that Muslim invasion of the Frankish kingdom was more of a raid rather than actual invasion. Western historians stressed the importance of Tours as the event that defended Christiandom from Muslim conquest. After the defeat at Tours, there were still raids carried out by the Muslims but never again the same scale as before. Modern historians now see the battle at Constantinople as the true event that protected Christendom from the Muslims.

  • 600 years of Jeanne D'arc (Joan of Arc) today ....

    She's Martel's like woman.

  • @bufbarnaby why?

  • I dont even undersntand why this is counted for great win when it was some small battle, arabs send small army from this side of Europe, beucase they know all there was weak. I like how ppl that dont have real heroes try to invent them

  • @viper2115 That is years of propaganda talking. Next you'll say how evil the crusades were? Islam was attacking europe. Not that the crusades were perfect but history is fed to us by leftists who cling to their social darwinist religion. ENOUGH!

  • With many years of darwinism dumbing down the population of europe we are not yet in any position to stand against this invasion and they know it. May YHWH have mercy and save us.
