The Hammer must be spinning in his grave. His descendants have let the Saracens into the heart of Europe, in numbers dwarfing those of any Muslim army, whether that of the Moors or the Turkish sultan.

Charles the Hammer, Great Grandfather of Charlemagne, lost the first battle against the Muslim barbarians and won all of the 16 remaining battles against them. Europe would have been Muslim for a long time if not for him.

Great reminder of the watershed event that saved Western Civilization.

Actually, the first defeat of the Moors took place at the battle of Covadonga, in NW Spain, around 722 A.D. or about 10 years before the battle of Tours. The Spanish kingdom of Asturias was NEVER conquered by the Moors and became the center of resistance leading to the Reconquista.

In Central Asia at roughly the same time, the Chinese were not so fortunate and we're still dealing with the consequences of their defeat there today...

Battle of Talas

[Happy Rain]

The most terrifying weapon in the hands of the Franks was the fransisca—the throwing ax—which even caused panic in the infantry ranks of Rome.
They would chunk the heavy headed things in volleys and the infernal things would bounce off the ground as predictable as a football- breaking up formations worried about getting disemboweled or even worse.
The fransisca was to the Franks as the longbow was to the English.
Couldn't tell from the video but did the weapon contribute much to the defeat of the evil Muslim barbarians in this particular battle?
