The Chaldeans were the migrants to Mesopotamia and were not powerful than the Assyrians and the Babylonians who had established themselves in Mesopotamia. They later associated themselves to the Assyro - Babylonian culture after the fall of Babylonia in 539 BCE. The Chaldeans often ruled as their vassals with no important power. With the establishment of power by Nabopolassar, the founder of the Chaldean Empire and the father of Nebuchadnezzar II, the Chaldeans established their rule in Mesopotamia. The Chaldeans became even more powerful under Nebuchadnezzar II. The sources about him are also mentioned in the Bible, book of Daniel and in those inscriptions found in Mesopotamia. Though the Bible is not favourable to him, the people of Mesopotamia praise him as a great king. By 572 BC, he was in full control of Babylonia, Chaldea, Aramea, Phonecia, Israel, Judah, Philistia, Samarra, Jordan, northern Arabia, and parts of Asia Minor. History remembers him as a great king and the creator of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, which is among the seven wonders of the world.

Explanation:
At the Battle of Tours near Poitiers, France, Frankish leader Charles Martel, a Christian, defeats a large army of Spanish Moors, halting the Muslim advance into Western Europe. Abd-ar-Rahman, the Muslim governor of Cordoba, was killed in the fighting, and the Moors retreated from Gaul, never to return in such force.
Charles was the illegitimate son of Pepin, the powerful mayor of the palace of Austrasia and effective ruler of the Frankish kingdom. After Pepin died in 714 (with no surviving legitimate sons), Charles beat out Pepin’s three grandsons in a power struggle and became mayor of the Franks. He expanded the Frankish territory under his control and in 732 repulsed an onslaught by the Muslims.
Victory at Tours ensured the ruling dynasty of Martel’s family, the Carolingians. His son Pepin became the first Carolingian king of the Franks, and his grandson Charlemagne carved out a vast empire that stretched across Europe.
