Martel was a son of the Frankish statesman Pepin of Herstal and Pepin's mistress, a noblewoman named Alpaida. Charles, also known as "The Hammer" (in Old French, Martel), successfully asserted his claims to power as successor to his father as the power behind the throne in Frankish politics. Continuing and building on his father's work, he restored centralized government in Francia and began the series of military campaigns that re-established the Franks as the undisputed masters of all Gaul.Stay tuned for shows on a variety of military history subjects. Hosted by Colin Heaton. Hammer of God pitch deck and TV pilot are available. Contact us for more information.

The impact of Martel's victory has been felt through the ages, and we all live with the result of his victory even today. All around the world.

Thank you for the retelling of the great battle of Tours when Charles Martell saved our beautiful European and Western civilisation with its Christian values from the kind of endless Islamic dark age that still besets the whole of North Africa nd the Middle East. There should be a statue of him in every city in Europe., the Americas, Australasia, subSaharan Africa and beyond. Thanks be to God.

Very important history. Sad so many youth today aren't taught this.

Charles Martel was a strategic genius. Wonderful video! Thanks for creating and uploading. Blessings.

As a historian myself, I feel like this was a moment in our time period that’s just totally looked over. When I was younger, in my twenties, and initially learned of Muslims at one point building strong holds in south France I was sure I’d read it wrong and then realized, but not only was it right but it was the first time hearing about it. And I was genuinely amazed. Sure I knew “Charles of Herstal united the Franks” and was the grandfather of Charlemagne but like I don’t know, I feel a genuine attempted take over of south France and most of Iberia is a pretty interesting footnote in time that just wasn’t mentioned, at least in Texas schools. It’s such a cool bit of history and arguably one of the more important times in western survival. The battle of Tours almost like a Thermopylae-level of importance for western kind.

Love your presentations. This is one of the most fascinating times in late dark age history with the rise of the Vikings and their influence from Ukraine to Ireland as well as the struggles in the Eastern Empire. Thank you for the outstanding work.

Good synopsis of the Charles and the battle! Minor correction: pronounce it as paypul, not papple.

Is it me or is your channel growing faster? Edit: There’s almost as many Spears of Destiny as pieces of the True Cross. But a symbol is what you make of it.
