Frankish military and political leader (c. 688–741)
Charles Martel was a powerful Frankish military and political leader who lived from around 688 to 741 and is most famous for his victory at the Battle of Tours in 732, which halted Muslim expansion into Western Europe. His military successes and political consolidation of power made him one of the most influential figures in early medieval Europe and paved the way for his descendants, the Carolingian dynasty, to eventually rule a vast empire.
