Frankish leader Charles Martel stopped the Muslim advance from Spain into France.
Explanation:
The Battle of Poitier (sometimes: Battle of Tours) took place on October 10, 732.
It was a battle in which the forces of the French Major Charles Martel inflicted heavy defeat on the Emir Abdul Rahman's Muslim army. Emir Abdul Rahman was killed in the battle.
The Muslim army had already penetrated as far as Burgundy and Bordeaux.
That victory halted the further penetration of the Muslim army into Europe and preserved the Christian character of Western Europe.
