Charles Martel stopped the Northern expansion of the Muslims from Spain into Western Europe. Very few battles have been as consequential as the battle of Tours, yet he's not nearly as celebrated as lesser military commanders I could name. What's the deal?

Religion isn’t popular anymore

>>509093902 (OP)
This is extremely antisemitic.

>>509093902 (OP)
The siege of Constantinople was more pivotal in stopping the Islamic tide, yet it's even less known by the general public than the battle of Tours

>>509093902 (OP)
Easy. He was pagan, his comrades were pagan and they btfo an abrahamic campaign. Of course nobody will talk about it.

>>509094188
Charles Martel was a baptized Christian.

>>509094283
So am i according to church scribles but i take a piss in the mouth of jesus

>>509094359
Yeah but he saved Europe from Muslims and you have yet to receive a peepee touch from a girl.

>>509094476
And he did so while being pagan just as much as the entire army. Do you want me to post quotes about the areas that were never conquered by muslims and launched the counter-attack?

Councils of Toledo (particularly the 5th, 6th, and 16th Councils)

These church councils repeatedly issued canons (rules) targeting pagan customs, especially in the countryside:

“Clerics or laypeople who perform or allow sacrilegious rites, whether in the countryside or cities, shall be excommunicated.”
— Canon 16, Fourth Council of Toledo (633 CE)

“Some, even now, continue to venerate stones, trees, springs, or crossroads. Let bishops diligently suppress these perverse errors among the rural folk.”
— Canon 6, Sixth Council of Toledo (638 CE)
. Martin of Braga (5th–6th century, Galicia, northwest Iberia)

Martin was a missionary and bishop who worked to eliminate rural paganism in Galicia. In his treatise De Correctione Rusticorum (“On the Correction of the Rustics”), he rails against pagan practices:

“The rustics still honor the gods of the countryside… they invoke Mercury on market days, Diana for hunting, and still make sacrifices near fountains and trees.”
— Martin of Braga, De Correctione Rusticorum

“What has Christ to do with Jupiter? What has the temple of God to do with the altars of demons?”

Martin’s writing is perhaps the clearest surviving complaint about persistent paganism in rural Iberia, aimed especially at peasants (rustici).

Yes — many of the complaints about lingering paganism and syncretism in pre-Islamic Spain were implicitly or explicitly directed at specific regions, especially rural and mountainous areas or regions where Romanization and Christianization had been slower or less complete.

Here’s a breakdown of the most commonly targeted regions and why:
1. Gallaecia (modern-day Galicia and northern Portugal)

Most targeted region in surviving sources.

Bishop Martin of Braga, active in the 6th century, wrote his De Correctione Rusticorum specifically about pagan customs in Gallaecia.

He complains of:

Offerings to nature spirits, trees, stones, springs.

Continued belief in Roman gods like Jupiter, Mercury, and Diana.

Superstitious practices involving the moon, omens, and amulets.
---------
2. Asturias and Cantabria (north-central Spain)

Mountainous, isolated, and relatively hard for centralized religious and royal authority to reach.

While we have fewer direct texts mentioning these regions before the Islamic conquest, later Asturian Christian sources mention efforts to convert or “correct” backward rural Christians.

It's likely that pre-Christian customs lingered longer in these areas, a pattern mirrored elsewhere in mountainous Europe.
-------------------
3. Basque Country (Vasconia)

Never fully Romanized or Christianized in antiquity.

Visigothic authority was weak in the Basque regions.

While specific pagan practices are not well documented in surviving Christian sources from this period, the lack of Christian infrastructure suggests resistance or indifference to conversion.

Pagan beliefs likely continued well into the early Middle Ages.
--------
4. Tarraconensis and rural inland areas

Even in more Romanized regions like Tarraconensis (northeastern Iberia, including modern-day Catalonia), church councils and bishops complained about popular festivals that retained pre-Christian elements.

Summary

While no single map exists of "where the pagans were," sources like Martin of Braga and the Councils of Toledo point most strongly to:

Gallaecia (Galicia and northern Portugal) — most explicitly named.

Likely: Asturias, Cantabria, the Basque Country, and other isolated rural areas.

General pattern: More complaints from areas less Romanized, mountainous, or rural.

Take a fucking guess which areas were not conquered by muslims and launched the counter attack.

Conclusion, pagans will not do this again so that christians can take credit you solve your own issues on your own or die.

>why isn't there movies about a Christian stopping a Muslim invasion of Europe?
it's a real mystery

>>509095838
>Christian
Pagan*

>>509095899
Lol, lmao. Get converted faggot

>>509096127
In your dreams. You get to solve your own issues this time and I will take credit for it.

>>509093902 (OP)
Jon Sobieski III was better (and fatter).
Instead of the battle that "stopped" islam why not the battle that broke it's back forever, and forever relegated it to 3rd world shit holes.

Lol, lmao. Seethe and know that my religion grows daily and yours is we wuz kangs tier

he is the grand father of charlemagne the first emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

>>509096474
kek delusional, all your churches are empty except for boomers. Its all a scam as much as your historical we wuzing.

>>509093902 (OP)
He was an Anti European Polytheism cuck.

>>509096627
not just polytheism but pagan as a whole with forests and water spirits etc

Yet the further away from the pagan army towards the most heavily christian areas the more brown and less european the country is today. Very curious case of anti-europeanism.

Or the Arab raid on Rome.(stropped by wall, looted the outer city) or the siege of Vienna, Or the journeys of Paul the disciple, Or any other Apostle's journey.

>>509094165
>The siege of Constantinople
If you are talking about the siege I am thinking, this would made a good movie, since the plot twist is the invention of Greek Fire.

>>509096805
He wasn't a pagan Viking, he was a Christian Frank.

While you people argue over Tours, Iberia, Constantinople the zionist Jews are currently genociding Christians in the Holy Land as we speak and the only people resisting them are Jihadists.

The presence of Christians in Hizb Allah shows that it is possible for Christians and Muslims to fight together as allies, even going back to Karbala. Just wish you cared about the Christians of the Holy Land as much as we do as Muslims.

This includes Bethlehem, where Jesus Christ was born. Wish you cared about your own Christian brothers more than zionist politicians who uphold this anti-Christian genocide.

We would be better off if he had lost.
>Hitler was transcribed as saying: "Had Charles Martel not been victorious at Poitiers [...] then we should in all probability have been converted to Mohammedanism, that cult which glorifies the heroism and which opens up the seventh Heaven to the bold warrior alone. Then the Germanic races would have conquered the world."

Looks like christcucks cant refute me. Just know this time you will die to solve any muslim problem you have, I will take credit, and I will be happy. No pressure on me.

>>509096980
See my posts itt. Not repeating myself.

>>509097065
Your sources are dubious.

>>509097317
Oh yes your unfounded WE WUZing is not dubious cause you do it in a casual tone but direct quotes from seething priests just a generation before islamic conquest are dubious.

>>509097462
Galicia is in Spain. Charles was from modern day Belgium.

>>509097701
You are correct. I was quoting reconquista in the wrong topic and I confused this guy with someone else. In my defense I just woke when I opened this thread. I havent done research on this guy so I wont talk about him. However if you want to talk about spain and halt of islamic conquest you will be dissapointed in how christian it actually was.

>>509093902 (OP)
Only Jews are industrious enough to make movies. You could do it too but you don't have the Israeli funding (funneled US funding).

Yes Israel funds Jews abroad to promote their success in taking over influential industries.
