In this episode, we begin by introducing the complex interplay of forces during Pelagius's time and the broader Reconquista. We delve into the ambitions of the Umayyad Caliphate as they pushed into Europe, challenging the fractured Frankish Kingdom. The narrative then shifts to the rise of Charles Martel, a pivotal figure in this period. We explore the strategic alliance between Odo and Charles Martel, culminating in the decisive Battle of Tours. This battle not only halted the Umayyad advance but also marked a turning point in European history. We conclude by examining the aftermath and significance of the Battle of Tours, which solidified Christian resistance and shaped the future of the continent.
