Famous Medieval Events
The Medieval Age was an important period in the history of Europe. Although historians hold different views about its start, many believe that it began with the end of the Western Roman Empire c.476 and ended c.1485.
This ushered in the so-called Dark Ages which were marked by mass migrations, chaos, a lack of strong kingdoms, and an overall period of disorder.
Towards the high and late medieval period, new kingdoms and empires came into being until the Renaissance of Europe finally began and brought back the once-forgotten Roman and Greek knowledge into mainstream consciousness.
Battle of Tours 732
The Battle of Tours was fought in 732 by the Frankish and Burgundian troops under the command of Charles Martel.
Martel led them against the Umayyad Caliphate army led by Abdul Rehman Al Ghafiqi.
Martel led a decisive victory against the Muslim army.
Charles Martel was the ruler of the Frankish kingdom at the time and was able to expand his territory after this victory.
In the battle, Charles Martel defeated Spanish Moors and effectively halted their advance into Western Europe.
Muslim governor, Abdul Rehman, was killed and Spanish Moors retreated. This victory ensured the rule of Martel’s family. Later, Martel’s son and grandson became the Carolingian kings of the Franks.
