Best Answer

it is said to reflect the religious conflict of later years when the protestant William defeated his catholic uncle and father-in-law James 11 for the throne of Britain and Ireland. ironically William was supported by the pope of the day. protestants have since regarded it as the guarantee of their liberty (and dominance). the reason these people went to battle was because James was married to henrietta maria which is a roman catholic princess and the british did not like this so they went to war William and James.

Why was the battle of tour important?

The Battle of Tours is important because it was a battle between the Muslim Moors and the Christian Franks. In this battle the Franks won. It was important because if they lost then maybe Islam might have been more important than Christianity. Maybe they never traveled to America and if they didn't then maybe people still might not have gone to America. It's like the Domino Effect, if you change an event or a domino then the whole future gets changed.
