Battle of the Palace of Martyrs)
[28][29][30] was fought in an area between the cities of
Poitiers and
Tours, in north-central France, near the village of
Moussais-la-Bataille, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) northeast of Poitiers. The location of the battle was close to the border between the Frankish realm and then-independent
Aquitaine. The battle pitted
Frankish and
Burgundian[31][32] forces under
Austrasian Mayor of the Palace Charles Martel against an army of the
Umayyad Caliphate led by
'Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi, Governor-General of
al-Andalus//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tours
The battle of Tours in Central France finally stopped the Muslim Caliphate which had conquered all of Northern Africa, Spain, Sicily, and failed to conquer France and the rest of Europe.
A turning point in the War against RADICAL ISLAM in Medieval times.
