-'''Charles Martel''' (which means Charles the Hammer) lived from AD 686 to 741 and was the son of Pepin II.
-Martel was the Frankish (French) Mayor of the Palace (AD 719 to 741).  Martel was the grandfather of [[Charlemagne]], and crushed the [[Muslim]] armies in the [[Battle of Tours]] in 732 from which he received his nickname 'The Hammer'.  The victory over the Islamic invaders was a crucial point in turning back [[Islam]] from overrunning Europe.
-His policies are credited with the rise of Frankish (French) preeminence in northern Europe, culminating with the coronation of Charlemagne by the Pope in 800 A.D.<ref>The New American Desk Encyclopedia, Penguin Group, 1989</ref>
