The Battle of Tours
The Battle of Tours is finally coming to an end. After an 8-10 day fight between the Franks and the Muslims, the Franks finally won the battle.
The battle all started when the Arabs, started to threaten Europe territories to take over land. Trying to make peace with the Muslims, Eudes, married of his daughter to a Muslim Emir. Furiated with the news he heard, Charles (who defeated Eudes in another battle) wanted to defeat the threat towards his people (being the Mayor of the town.To stop the Muslim army, we (the French) fought in between Tours and Poitiers.
While the Muslim army was attacking, Charles was coming up with battle strategies . At the end of the fight , Charles and his troops won! The Muslim army retreated, and the soldiers who were left, were to be charged after the start of Autumn.
As for the soldiers who fought the battle, they are just happy to be home with their families. Martel is now the hero, of France, because if it wasn’t for him we would have gotten taken over by the Muslim army!
