Charles Martel stops the Muslim empire advance in Europe
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Victory at Tours ensured the ruling dynasty of Martel’s family, the Carolingians. His son Pepin became the first Carolingian king of the Franks, and his grandson Charlemagne carved out a vast empire that stretched across Europe.
Detailed explanation-2: -The battle helped lay the foundations of the Carolingian Empire and Frankish domination of western Europe for the next century. Most historians agree that “the establishment of Frankish power in western Europe shaped that continent’s destiny and the Battle of Tours confirmed that power."
Detailed explanation-3: -Charles Martel is credited with greatly helping to stifle Islamic expansion throughout much of Europe. This is because Martel’s army defeated the Muslims in the Battle of Tours in 732. However, it should be noted that it was not that Martel won, but more that the Muslims lost.
Detailed explanation-4: -Charles Martel reunited and ruled the entire Frankish realm. His victory at Tours is credited with turning back the Muslim invasion of Europe, a major turning point in European history. Martel was the grandfather of Charlemagne, who became the first Roman Emperor since the fall of the Roman Empire.
