I recently was able to have a chat with Charles Martel....
Q: So Chuck, tell me a little bit about this battle?
A: No problem. This battle was between me and Abdul Rak Man. I, Commander of the Franks, went head to head with the Muslim moors when they tried to advance into my territory.
Q: When did this all take place?
A: I remember it all going down around October 10th 732 CE. Oh what a day. I was waiting, and ready to slam those moors when then tried to enter into France.
Q: How did it kick off?
A: Underestimating me and my frank forces, the Muslim were quite surprised when they saw me waiting for them. We both stayed ready to fight for six days. Man, it felt like much longer than that though. On the seventh day, Abdul Rak Man attacked.
Q: What happened next?
A: We were ready. We invaded Muslim camps from behind. We scared the armor right off of those cowards. They retreated and surrendered overnight.
Q: How did you earn the nickname, "Charles The Hammer"?
A: Hahaha. I slammed those moors like a hammer hitting the nail straight on the head. That will teach him not to mess with me.
Q: How do you think this will affect the people of the 21st century and on?
A: You're a far thinker, I like that. Obviously I changed the world. Who knows what could have happened to this planet if the Muslims had actually taken control of France. Not many fans of Abdul roam this land and I hope to keep it that way for a long time.
