EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorized engraving from the 19th century depicts Charles Martel, the legendary Frankish leader, leading his troops into battle against Arab invaders at Tours, France in 732 AD. Known as the Battle of Poitiers, this historic clash marked a turning point in European history as Martel successfully defended his kingdom against the Umayyad Caliphate's expansion into Western Europe.
In this scene, Martel is shown on horseback, commanding his army with determination and courage. His presence exudes strength and leadership as he rallies his men to fight for their land and freedom. The detailed hand-colored illustration captures the intensity of the battlefield, with soldiers clashing swords and horses charging into battle.
Charles Martel's victory at Tours solidified his reputation as a hero of Christian Europe and earned him the title "The Hammer." His strategic brilliance and military prowess were instrumental in halting the Arab invasion and preserving Western civilization.
This print serves as a powerful reminder of Martel's legacy and enduring impact on European history. It immortalizes a crucial moment in time when one man's bravery changed the course of events and shaped the future of an entire continent.
