There is a train of thought that the battle is over-played. Both in how serious the 'invasion' was, how the force was also at the end of a long logistcs line, and not particularity well manned.

Considering the size of the 'invading' force, then that line of thought have some serious credence. I believe the victory and Martel's other victories (Frisians/Saxons) more so helped establish the Frankish empire as the dominant force in Western Europe, and helped lay the foundations for Charlemenge and the establishment of the Holy Roman Empire system that dominated Europe for centuries.

The ‘danger’ the invading force presented is overstated by people these days in an attempt to bolster the Islamic Invasion narrative.

By some, certainly, but how many average joes know about the Battle of Tours, the Reconquista, or that there was an Muslim Spain and Visigoth Spain. Probably not many.

practically speaking most wars these days are by proxy, generally not a lot to be gained by landing your troops on foreign soil.

Looks like a cross between a Monty Python skit, and any number of my chick cousins after a bottle and half of whichever $5 wine they have necked.

Why do you feel the need to get defensive on this sort of banter.

[Del191229]

Generally when people have to "explain" something that's meant to be funny and the best they can come up with is banter, it isn't my cup of tea.

Each to their own though.
