(October 732) Victory won by the Frankish mayor of the palace Charles Martel over Muslim invaders from Spain.
Charles led Frankish troops against a Muslim army seeking to gain control of Aquitaine. The Arab leader, 02BD; Abd-al-Ra 1E25; m 0101; n al-Ghafiqi, was killed, and the Arabs retreated. The battle itself was part of Charles's campaign against the Muslims in the south and was not decisive. It did, however, mark the end of the Muslim invasions of Frankish territory and contributed to Frankish consolidation of the region. The Frankish victory greatly enhanced Charles's prestige and that of his family, the Carolingian s.
