VNBHSUW3 A good survey of the time in question rather than a blow-by-blow analysis of the battle, which is not really attainable with the sources at hand. The most significant conclusion is probably not so much that Charles Martel "saved" Europe from Islamic conquest, but that the Muslim incursion in question eliminated Aquitaine as a challenger to the rising Carolingians. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
In the early decades of the 8th century AD, Islamic forces were flooding into Europe through the Iberian peninsula, threatening Frankish and Burgundian territory and raiding it with ever-increasing ferocity. At the battle of Poitiers, also known as Tours, Christian forces under the Frankish leader Charles Martel "The Hammer" (grandfather of Charlemagne) confronted a massive invading Islamic army. The Franks were victorious, effectively halting the northward advance of Islam and preserving Christianity as the dominant faith in Europe. Expert medievalist David Nicolle draws on contemporary sources to reconstruct this turning-point battle, places it in its historical context and reviews its background and immediate and longer-term historical consequences.
