In this episode of "Great Battles," we delve into the Battle of Tours, a crucial conflict in 732 AD that halted the Umayyad Caliphate's expansion into Western Europe. Charles Martel, leading the Frankish forces, strategically positioned his troops to withstand the Umayyad cavalry. The battle saw intense fighting, culminating in a decisive Frankish victory after the Umayyad forces were disrupted by concerns over their camp's safety. This victory preserved the Christian kingdoms of Western Europe and laid the groundwork for the Carolingian Empire, significantly impacting the region's historical trajectory.
