[SUSANNA KEENE.FTW]
Charles 'Martel', Mayor Of The Palace Of Austrasia ruled the
Merovingian Franks from A.D. 719 to 741. He used only the title
of Mayor of the Palace, but he actually had the power of a
king. Most of the lawful Frankish kings of this period were
weak. In 732, Charles defeated the invading Moslems in the
famous Battle of Tours near Poitiers. For repeatedly attacking
the Moslems, Charles later received the title of Martel,
meaning the Hammer. He built an army of mounted men by seizing
church
estates. Charles supported Saint Boniface in his reform of the
Frankish church.
