Question

Chronicle of St. Denis:___________________________________.

The Muslims planned to go to Tours to destroy the Church of St. Martin, the city, and the whole country. Then came against them the glorious Prince Charles, at the head of his whole force. He drew up his host, and he fought as fiercely as the hungry wolf falls upon the stag. By the grace of Our Lord, he wrought a great slaughter upon the enemies of Christian faith, so that---as history bears witness---he slew in that battle 300,000 men, likewise their king by name Abderrahman. Then was he [Charles] first called "Martel," for as a hammer of iron, of steel, and of every other metal, even so he dashed: and smote in the battle all his enemies. And what was the greatest marvel of all, he only lost in that battle 1500 men. The tents and harness [of the enemy] were taken; and whatever else they possessed became a prey to him and his followers. Eudes, Duke of Aquitaine, being now reconciled with Prince Charles Martel, later slew as many of the Saracens as he could find who had escaped from the battle. Public Domain.

Person above me said it was right

Answer 2

C.) The Europeans understood that this victory was a Christian victory against the Muslim invaders.

Step-by-step explanation:

The attacks from the Muslims in the Iberian Peninsula would continue after the victory of Charles Martel, but they would never become an outright invasion. Tours represented the pinnacle of the Muslim expansion in the West, and was seen as a great victory of the Christian kingdoms against Islam. The Frankish kingdom would later, in the reign of Charlemagne establish the Hispanich March as a buffer zone against the Muslims.
