The Battle of Tours, also known as the Battle of Poitiers, was fought between Frankish forces led by Charles Martel and an Umayyad army advancing into Frankish territory. The Franks held firm and repelled the attack in a battle later celebrated in European memory.
The engagement has long been seen as symbolically important in the history of medieval Europe, though historians continue to debate aspects of its scale and later interpretation. Its legacy contributed greatly to Charles Martel's prestige and the rise of the Carolingians.
