Charles Martel (circa 688-741), Carolingian ruler of the Frankish kingdomof Austrasia (in present northeastern France and southwestern Germany).Charles, whose surname means the hammer, was the son of Pepin of Herstaland the grandfather of Charlemagne. Pepin was mayor of the palace underthe last kings of the Merovingian dynasty. When he died in 714, Charles,an illegitimate son, was imprisoned by his father's widow, but he escapedin 715 and was proclaimed mayor of the palace by the Austrasians. A warbetween Austrasia and the Frankish kingdom of Neustria (now part ofFrance) followed, and at the end of it Charles became the undisputedruler of all the Franks.

Although he was engaged in wars against the Alamanni, Bavarians, andSaxons, his greatest achievements were against the Muslims from Spain,who invaded France in 732. Charles defeated them near Poitiers in a greatbattle in which the Muslim leader, Abd-ar-Rahman, the emir of Spain, waskilled. The progress of Islam, which had filled all Christendom withalarm, was thus checked for a time. Charles drove the Muslims out of theRhone valley in 739, when they had again advanced into France as far asLyon, leaving them nothing of their possessions north of the Pyreneesbeyond the Aude River. Charles died in Quierzy, on the Oise River,leaving the kingdom divided between his two sons, Carloman (circa715-754) and Pepin the Short.
