NO. The Battle at Tours, also called the Battle at Poitiers, in 732 C.E. was one of the most important defeats of Islamic forces during the expansionary period of the Rashidun and Umayyad Caliphates (the other being the unsuccessful siege of Constantinople). Charles Martel, the leader of the Frankish forces at the time, was widely celebrated for preventing Muslims from overwhelming France as they had previously overwhelmed Spain.
