Charles Martel (circa 688-741), Carolingian ruler of theFrankish kingdom of Austrasia (in present northeastern Franceand southwestern Germany). Charles, whose surname means thehammer, was the son of
Pepin of Herstal and the grandfather ofCharlemagne. Pepin was mayor of the palace under the last kingsof the Merovingian dynasty. When he died in 714, Charles, anillegitimate son, was imprisoned by
his father's widow, but heescaped in 715 and was proclaimed mayor of the palace by theAustrasians. A war between Austrasia and the Frankish kingdom ofNeustria (now part of France) followed, and at
the end of itCharles became the undisputed ruler of all the Franks. Althoughhe was engaged in wars against the Alamanni, Bavarians, andSaxons, his greatest achievements were against the Muslims
fromSpain, who invaded France in 732. Charles defeated them nearPoitiers in a great battle in which the Muslim leader,Abd-ar-Rahman, the emir of Spain, was killed. The progress ofIslam, which had
filled all Christendom with alarm, was thuschecked for a time. Charles drove the Muslims out of the Rhonevalley in 739, when they had again advanced into France as faras Lyon, leaving them nothing
of their possessions north of thePyrenees beyond the Aude River. Charles died in Quierzy, on theOise River, leaving the kingdom divided between his two sons,Carloman (circa 715-54) and Pepin the
Short. Merged GeneralNote: Carolingian ruler of the Frankish kingdom of Austrasia (inpresent northeastern France and southwestern Germany). Charles,whose surname means the hammer, was the son of

After the death of his father there was a period of anarchy.  Hisnephews,
grandchildren of Plectrude, were proclaimed rulers and Charles wasthrown into
prison.  Austrasia (eastern portion of France) and Neustria (westernFrance)
were still separate.  He escaped and defeated the Neustrians atAmbleve in 716
and at Vincy the following year.  He also took the title of mayor ofthe palace
of Austrasia, thus uniting the northern part of the country.  In 719he forced
Duke Odo of Aquitaine to recognize his suzerainty.  He also becamerenowned for
his victories over the Moors.  They had conquered Spain in 711 andlater crosse
the Pyrenees and advanced on Gaul as far as Tours.  His brilliantvictory, in
Oct 732, over the Moors ended the last of the Arab invasion and led tohis bein
called Martel (the Hammer).  He then took the offensive against themin souther
France.  His victories over the Germans resulted in the annexation ofFrisia,
the end of the duchy of Bavaria, intervention in Bavaria and thepayment of
tribute by the Saxons.  Pope Gregory III attempted to gain his aidagainst the
Lombards but was unsuccessful.  For a few years before his death therewas no
king of the Merovingian line, and in 741 he divided the kingdombetween his two
sons as though he were master of the realm.
