POTUS 45 never bowed when he met with queenie last year. He never bowed to the Arab. Bet he won’t bow to the Japanese Emperor this weekend either.

I am so proud of him.

To me President Trump is a true Nobleman of historic times.

Who Was Charles Martel and Why Is He Called the Hammer?

On October 22 741 Frankish leader Charles Martel died. Considered by many historians to be both the saviour and one of the founders of modern Europe, Charles was a formidable warrior and statesmen who thoroughly deserved his nickname of “the hammer.”

Born to rule

Martel was born in 686 in Frankia – one of the Christian kingdoms which would rise out of the ashes of the Roman Empire – and the predecessor state of modern France and Germany. Charles’ father, Pepin of Herstal, was Mayor of the palace, a title which had come to mean de facto leader of the Frankish state. Like in modern Britain, the monarch held little power, and the authority of kingship rested in the hands of the mayor.

.....

Charles never lost a battle in his entire military career after this brilliant start.

Oops, should have included this part!!!!

Charles had trained his Austrasians himself and their discipline, combined with the tactic of the feigned retreat and ambush, was revolutionary in Europe at this time – and would be repeated with great success by William the Conqueror at Hastings. Charles never lost a battle in his entire military career after this brilliant start.
