But because there was a later battle of Poitiers in 1356 AND the battlefield is located in a region between the two towns, THIS battle is referred to predominantly as 'Tours.'
The Arabs never were a match for the Franks. The Arabs returned 6 years later and Charles Martel thoroughly routed them again, driving them out of several French cities they had captured and annihilating an Arab relief force at the Battle of the River Berre.. Martel's son Pepin then took over the Frankish army and finally drove the remaining Arab force out of France when he liberated the city of Narbonne, thus ending all further attempts of Arab conquest.
