This video details the “Battle of Tours,” which was one of the most important battles in European history.  In 732 AD, a Frankish Mayor Charles Martel stopped an Islamic invasion into France, saving both his kingdom and Europe from being subjugated by Islam (as Spain was subjugated at that time.)  [Note: Martel’s grandson Charlemagne eventually became the Emperor of Rome, with him often being thought of as “the father of modern Europe.”]
