@@hamidayman4114 no. They were holding slaves not families. By your name I'm pretty sure which version of this battle you were taught

well if you lost it, then all of french history would have changed so it should be a important history

in Ukraine we also call it a battle at Poitier. I had to wikipedia it to search for this video lol.

We call it the highway of martyrs muslims teach this at school as a day of sadness and anguish to all the muslim nations

I think the English texts refer to it as the Battle of Tours so as not to confuse it with the Battle of Poitiers 1356 which was a huge English victory that ended up capturing the French king. And the Frankish army caught up to the Muslim army while they were attempting to take Tours.

As a french i Learned somewhere that was at the village of "Moussay-la-bataille" at North of Poitiers, but yes it's true we can't be sure about the exact location of this battle.

And Charlemagne's relations with the caliphate used to be excelent!;)

@@Peristerygr he had a good relationship with the Abbasid , he even allied with them against the Eastern Roman empire (Byzantine).

@@sir.mclovin7018 really why Charlemagne had so bad relationship with byzantine empire?

@@infinitedream978 They were Orthodox Christians rather than Catholic Christians.

Sir. Mclovin Which was quite traitorous and stupid.

I used Martel as his nickname in this video, it is even stressed at the end of it I think. Also, he was never the French King. Here in Poland this battle is known as Battle of Poitiers too :) But since the video is english, I used the english name.

Pierre-Yves Poli charles martel never was a king

Charlesl was from Herstal

tato slavná bitva byla mezi městy Tours a Poitiers, blíže k Chatelleraut

He was the de facto ruler of Frankia though which might have been what he meant. He certainly did act like the king should act. And to be a bit of a pedant it was Martellus. On a sidenote this is why his name in many countries has ended up becoming Charles (whatever the word for hammer is in the language) everyone knew that he was The Hammer, a nickname he certainly earnt.

Should just call it the Roman Empire, or the Eastern Roman Empire if you really must. "Byzantine" is just a term made up by historians centuries after the fact.

And GibraAltar strait in Arabic is "Jabal Tarek" refers to Tarek Ibn Ziyad the conqueror of the Iberian peninsula

Lorgar Aurelian So is "Eastern Roman Empire". To them, it was just "Roman Empire"

For short they would call their realm 'Rhomania'. Pretty sure the country now dubbed Romania was dubbed as such by the Ottomans (Rumania) and they themselves are called Vlatch, their lands Wallachia; may be wrong though.

Thanks for your comment. It's still the very beginning, each next video is quite different, as I'm still playing with various elements. Obviously, narration is one of the most noticeable recent changes. I'm quite surprised, that some of you actually liked my style of narration and my accent. Hard nut to crack for me to decide which path to follow :)

I enjoy both, your accent was very genuine, and I agree that the images and the content is easy enough to follow. Maybe add subtitles (optional) if people don't like the narration, but the new guy is great too.

There are English subtitles on all of my videos. You just need to turn them on in the video settings.

Oh I see, then by all rights people shouldn't be complaining :) I didn't have have trouble understanding your polish accent. Keep it up

Subtitles are all well, but you want to be able to focus fully on the wonderfully made schematics (really awesome man!). Even though personally I am OK with either style of narration. I might even like yours a tiny bit more. It would probably bring you more subscribers If you'd stick with the new guy though. I'm from the Czech Republic, so I am quite used to our Slavic butchery of an English language :D. We do have a very heavy accent, which other nations might find quite distracting.

jakeera 1995 yeah, but when it came to france, martel was like "can't touch this."

Actually it was not Turkish at all, the Ottomans got hold off the straits some 700+ years later. And there were different "Turkish" tribes/hordes/nations in the Ottoman empire.

Mike ` Anatolian-Balkan straits at that point.

Io Not Hellespont?

Lol and Gibraltar has its name of a Berber leader who invaded Iberia

Zack - He ordered that his army destroy their boats, because there would be no turning back from their jihad in the Iberian dar al-Harb {land of war/conflict] - a case of kill or be killed, for wealth and land [in the name/excuse of 'Allah'].

You know you are talking bullshit right? The Moroccans recognise tariq ibn zayid as a Berber. They admire him and had put him as an exemple to unify against the Arabs.

Without this battle, it would have been Islamic Empire of Europe with European women as s*x sl*ves. Europe should always be thankful to the French for this

This is what good strategy can do .

If cavalry just charges in a straight line where infantry is ready to defend, it will be a defeat for the cavalry

Cavalry doesn't charge in a straight line, but in a shape similar to uppercase 'L' !! Don't you play chess??

Probably not. That's why they call it HIS-story.

It was light cavalry, which isn't good for charging

Too Late.

We need Saladin as soon as possible

Why?

@P P P Search up battle of marj al-ayun saladin almost captured and killed baldwin in a straight up fight

@samy701 he hammered your Saladin twice if i am correct. and the execution of the prisoners was hard but justified as Saladin miscalculated on the ransom negotiations and went back on his word but he was a selfish man who betrayed his father and caused his death and caused misery on his people (England). But he was a warrior king. PS as an orthodox Christian i am very glad the Latins got kicked out.

I don't know...a few hundred Spartans knew how to "hold the line" a thousand years earlier.

​@@johnirby8847 They didn't succeed.

@@Desperado070 Yeah but people were "holding the line" thousands of years earlier. Almost the entire Greek and Roman military was heavy infantry. The Greek hoplite phalanx was replicated by Gaul, Spain, Carthage, Seleucid, Persia, Pontics, every German tribe that made it...even all the way up to the Celts and Norse. If you're talking specifically about holding the line the Greeks were the OG's.

@@lauralil6886 Pakistan

There are two types of sources for this "Battle of Tours" or "Battle of Poitiers" as we name it in France, the contemporary sources and later sources (both christians and muslim). The contemporary sources saw this battle as a simple skirmish battle between a raid party of al-Andalus troops made of "Saracens" (most of them Berbers, only a few Arabs !! it is also interesting to note that some Christians were also among them) against the "men of the north" as you quoted it. But the later sources, IXth century and after, started to turn it into a big battle against two religions. And then, during the crusades, the religious aspect took a way bigger part, and during the XIXth century the battle was used as propaganda by the french governments to teach the glorious history of France - Le roman national. So, saying that right after the battle the word spread around Europe that Martel defeated a muslim invasion is not true, as far as the contemporary sources let us know. Arabian culture influenced great things in Iberia. Flamenco, the Spanish guitar, the guitar itself, the fact Al-Andalus had lit and paved walkways centuries before Paris. They brought Algebra, the writtings of great philosophers, cartography, astronomy, you name it.

Why Muslims Govt of Andalus Spain didnt Massacre Christians Visigoth? Because muslims are tolerant.

Thanks for that comment, script wasn't polished enough. I already have nightmares involving Turkish Straits label in this video :)

The battle of yarmuk happened in 627, and the byzantines/romans always had border problems on the eastern frontiers

Well the same goes to the gibraltar strait (gibraltar area) as it was also named after the arab commander who invaded it. if im not wrong jabal-al-tariq. My point is that bazbattles just mentioned the modern names of the straits. but its still bosphorus to me :D

I agree. Even so, saying "Turkish Straits" applies to the Bosphorus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles

frankwally - Yes, at one time the European (Christian/Catholic countries had a great trade going with the East, via the seaways - carry goods by sea was much cheaper, and generally speaking also safer - BUT the various Muslim leaders/Caliphs, sought to choke off that trade and economy. I believe there was one North African Caliph, who bragged that the Europeans could not even safely float a plank of wood along the Mediterranean! They in effect shafted such of the European economy for many decades - and also continually plundered the coastal areas for booty and women for their harems. It is very likely that many of those who have European ancestry at that time, also have lineage to women and girls who were taken for the harems, and that we now have Arab, Berber etc. bloodlines as a result of them being made pregnant by their 'Muslim masters'.

I'd say there are many more things to be improved/reworked. I'm feeling a bit guilty uploading unfinished vids, with flaws here and there, but it takes just too much time to polish it to the desired level, and there are so many stories to tell. So, consider these shortcomings as a sacrifice to get more videos done each month, at least until I manage to optimize things. Mongol Empire is just too important to leave it behind. Kalka River/Legnica/Kulikovo/Ain Jalut were all interesting battles, but I'm unable to tell when I would cover them.

I do hope you can make a living out of those, very nice content

I'm not limiting myself in any way, but events happening later than XVII century are more visually demanding, as newer tools to harm people were developed - first canons, guns, line infantry, sophisticated navy, precise artillery, warplanes, tanks etc. I want to keep it enjoyable to watch, thus a lot of new graphics, objects and animations need to be created, it takes time unfortunately. But all these immensely interesting events will eventually be covered aswell!
