  Six years later, the Arabs came back and took several cities in southern France. Charles Martel had to come back to liberate those cities and, outside the walls of Narbonne, he met their large army at the Battle of the River Berre where he annihilated them. &nbsp;The second great campaign is one we seldom hear about.

  YES! Early medieval history is so underrepresented, like it&apos;s weird how so many people know about the Reconquista but most don&apos;t know about Asturias or Pamplona

  This might be the most important battle won in European history. If he didn&apos;t win, we might not have had the great Charlemagne as Frankish Emperor (what I believe to be the most influencal Man in early Medieval history)

  Nice documentary on the Battle of Tours. The Europeans fought the Muslim invaders for centuries, and the Slavic peoples defended Eastern Europe during Islamic attacks. Also, the two battles for Vienna are fascinating.

  The Moors did NOT conquer all of the peninsula. &nbsp;Under the leadership of PELAYO at the battle of COVADONGA in 718 A.D., the Muslims were defeated and never able to occupy Asturias. &nbsp;This was the beginning of the glorious RECONQUISTA. &nbsp;¡Viva España!

  This great battle probably saved Western Europe from Arabic colonisation ( well except Spain) spain and portugal were already colonised. &nbsp;We Europeans owe Charles a great debt.

  I was surprised to see the Duchy of Bavaria on this map. Turns out. It has been a duchy as early as 555 AD. Incredible that it was around so long.

  Battle Of Poitiers is actually the right name . By his victory &nbsp;Charles Matel saved &nbsp;Latin and German worlds from Muslim conquest
