Poitiers AD 732: Charles Martel turns the Islamic tide (Campaign, 190),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
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 everincreasing 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 turningpoint battle, places it in its historical context and reviews its background and immediate and longerterm historical consequences.
