Hey, it was the Franks such as Charles “The Hammer” Martel that drove the Moors back down beyond the Pyrenees. We definitely owe the French on that one.

Charles the Hammer was a Frank, not a Frenchman. Like most Franks he spoke a Germanic language as the Franks, like the Anglo-Saxons were a Germanic people.
