Join us as we explore the dramatic confrontation between Frankish leader Charles Martel and the invading Umayyad forces in 732 AD, a battle that helped to define the Christian and Muslim frontiers in Western Europe.
⚔️ Set sail into the early 8th century, where tensions between the expanding Umayyad Caliphate and the Christian kingdoms of Europe are escalating. Witness the buildup to the Battle of Tours as the Umayyads, under the leadership of Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi, push deep into Frankish territories, threatening to extend Islamic influence across the continent.
🛡️ Venture into the heart of the Frankish defense led by Charles Martel, a leader famed for his military acumen and strategic foresight. Delve into his preparations for the confrontation, as he rallies local nobles and prepares his troops for a battle that many considered to be a defense of Christendom itself.
