Battle of Tours

The Battle of Tours was a battle in the Arab Conquests, specifically the Muslim Invasion of Gaul. It was fought between the Franks, a French-German barbarian empire, and the Umayyads, a Syrian caliphate, at Tours, France on October 10, 732. The Frankish victory led to the creation of the Carolingian Empire, which paved the way for post-ancient Europe.
