Who stopped the Muslim advance into Europe?
Charles, King of the Franks stopped the Muslim invasion at the
Battle of Tours in 732 or 733AD. The exact date of the battle is
unknown and there is some argument as to the exact place , but is
was the great battle that stopped the Muslim advance. Muslim raids
into Europe ended about 740 when the Berbers revolted in the
Iberian Penninsula and North Africa. Also in 1529 and again in 1566
the Othoman Turks laid seige to Vienna from their capital in
Constantinople. 60,000 Christian soldiers attacked and defeated the
Muslims.
