| | Battle of Tours - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | But the battle was still in flux when Frankish histories claim that the rumor went through the Arab army that Frankish scouts threatened the booty they had taken from Bordeaux and muslim troops at once broke off the battle, and returned to camp to secure their booty. | | | He had no trouble using his enemies tools against them, no pride stopped him from seizing any advantage he could in defending his faith, his father's home and homeland, and his people, from what he saw was a danger that would destroy them if not checked. | | | Gibbons and his generation of historians, and the majority of modern experts agree with them that they were unquestionably decisive in world history. |

| | That is why the Battle of Tours is one of the most decisive battles in history, to decide which would prevail Islam or Christianity. | | | This battle is said to be decisive because this battle decided whether Islam would spread father, or stop. | | | But his greatest achievement was against the Muslims from Spain, who invaded France in 732. |

| | The Battle of Tours was the high water mark of the Arab invasion of Europe. | | | Charles suspected a trap but it soon became apparent that, under cover of darkness, the Arabs had retreated to the south. | | | But what would have happened had Charles been defeated at the Battle of Tours and the Arabs went on to overrun the rest of Europe? |

| | The Battle of Tours Poitiers (732) |
| | The discipline and resolve of the Franks was apparently too much for the Muslims, as Frankish scouts discovered on the following morning that the Muslim camp had been abandoned in haste during the night, with a great deal of plunder having been left behind in the tents. | | | Chronicle of Fredegar contains a more substantial account of the battle: the Franks killed 'Abd ar-Rahman in the operation and overran the tents of the Muslim camp, presumably to recapture the treasure that had been taken from the Aquitanian churches. | | | In this essay I intend to suggest answers to the four most crucial questions concerning the Battle of Tours-Poitiers which have not been answered sufficiently by Frankish experts or Islamicists. |

| | If, indeed, the Arab account of the disorganization of the Moslem forces be correct, the battle was as well timed on the part of Charles, as it was, beyond all question, well fought. | | | Schlegel(ii) speaks of this " mighty victory " in terms of fervent gratitude, and tells how " the arm of Charles Martel saved and delivered the Christian nations of the West from the deadly grasp of all-destroying Islam". | | | And, even, if Charles could have persuaded his men to look tamely on while the Arabs stormed more towns and desolated more districts, he could not have kept an army together when the usual period of a military expedition had expired. |

| | October 10: Charles Martel Turned Back Islam at Tours |
| | That Islam did not capture all of Europe and wipe out Christianity is owing in part to the Franks' Mayor of the Palace, Charles Martel, his sturdy Merovingian knights and a courageous infantry. | | | This had tremendous implications for Christianity, because those areas had formerly been Christian. | | | He solidified his holdings with unceasing effort, battling the Frisians, Saxons, Alamanni, Bavarians and Aquitanians until the most of modern France was brought under his control. |
