Thanks to you now Google is probably being overrun with “Battle of Tours” searches. What time is the exam?

Well, there’s gonna be a short quiz next period, but it’ll definitely be on the mid-terms.

FWIW, I went to the Wiki entry on the Battle of Tours. The back-and-forth tries but ultimately fails to minimize the significance of the Frankish victory for the West.

But there’s something eerily similar to the Muslim conquests of then and now. It’s like the American Civil War, open a book on the topic and you’re there, it’s in the present and never really went away.

Maybe Charles Martel would have liked my tagline.
