Charles Martel, the Frankish ruler, played a crucial role in spreading Christianity by consolidating power and unifying the Frankish territories under his leadership. His military victories, particularly the Battle of Tours in 732, halted the advance of Muslim forces into Western Europe, ensuring that Christianity remained the dominant faith. Additionally, he supported the Church by granting lands and privileges, which facilitated the establishment of monasteries and the spread of Christian teachings throughout his realm. Through these actions, Martel laid the foundation for the later Carolingian Empire and the further expansion of Christianity in Europe.
If the Muslims weren't stopped at the Battle of Tours, Islam would have spread into Europe and Christianity would have been pushed out of Europe.
Charles "The Hammer" Martel defeated the Muslim army in 732 at the Battle of Tours (France), allowing Christianity to survive in Western Europe.
NOOO!!!Charles Martel is the grandfather of Charlemagne."Martel" means Hammer because Charles Martel stopped Muslims from expanding in the Battle of Tours. He never became emperor.His grandson, Charlemagne centralized the Germanic peoples by traveling a lot to ensure his control and also setting up a system with counts (local rulers) and missi dominici to check on the counts.He was crowned emperor by Pope Leo 2 after fighting off the Lombards (barbarians). He helped spread Christianity by becoming one. (ex: Saxons forced to convert to Christianity since Charlemagne defeated them)
