Charles Martel was the Mayor of the Palace in the Frankish kingdoms during the 700’s. he is best known (militarily) for winning the Battle Of Tours in 732 and halting the Muslim invasions into Europe through Spain and pushing them out of Frankish lands. Through his campaigns he became the de facto king (although the title was reserved for his son) of the Franks. However, he should be best remembered as the founder of feudalism as a way to support a large horse army.
