Answer 2

The Frankish victory, led by Charles Martel, at the pivotal Battle of Tours in 732, was considered important because it halted the expansion of Islam into northern Europe.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Battle of Tours was fought between the army of the Frankish Kingdom, led by Charles Martel, Mayor of the palace of Paris and de facto ruler of the kingdom, and the Moors from Al Andalus, led by Algaequi, ruler of Cordoba under the dominion of the Umayyad Caliphate of Damascus, between 25 and 26 October 732.

This battle is cited as the landmark of the end of Muslim expansion in medieval Europe. The Frankish army stationed itself near the city of Tours, for its defense. The Muslim attack was repulsed, with the death of its commander, next to the city of Poitiers.
