To: Charles Martel

Great name, Charles. I was looking for Charles Martel quotes the other day and found none on google. Do you know of any?

No, I’ve never seen any quotes attributed to Charles the Hammer. We probably know most of what we do about him from an effort to copy older Merovingian court records and such into a Carolingian text. By the time of his grandson Charlemagne’s reign, the spread of Christianity brought with it more writing. Even Charlemagne was not fully literate, though.

How do you say, “Molon Labe” in Latin? That is most likely what Charles Martel said to the Islamic Moor Commander.
