In the 8th century, the future of Europe stood on the edge of a sword.
Charles Martel—known as The Hammer—was more than just a Frankish warlord. When Islamic forces swept into Western Europe, Martel led a small, determined army to meet them head-on at the Battle of Tours.
Outnumbered but unshaken, he delivered a crushing blow that changed the course of history.
Had he failed, the Islamic Caliphate may have taken the heart of Europe.
Instead, Charles Martel forged the path for what would become modern Western civilization.

Martel was a son of the Frankish statesman Pepin of Herstal and Pepin's mistress, a noblewoman named Alpaida. Charles, also known as "The Hammer" (in Old French, Martel), successfully asserted his claims to power as successor to his father as the power behind the throne in Frankish politics. Continuing and building on his father's work, he restored centralized government in Francia and began the series of military campaigns that re-established the Franks as the undisputed masters of all Gaul.Stay tuned for shows on a variety of military history subjects.
