The Battle of Tours, AD 732

from The Fall Of The Roman Empire · host Nick Holmes

In this episode, I’m going to focus on one of the most famous battles in history: the battle of Tours, or Poitiers as it’s sometimes called, in 732. It’s famous because some historians think it stopped the Arabs from conquering Europe. But others think its significance has been exaggerated and, even if the Arabs had won, they did not intend to conquer Europe. So, in this episode let’s try to find out what really happened.Support the showFor a free ebook, maps and blogs check out my website nickholmesauthor.com
