Jelasin soal Pertempuran Tours  dalam bahasa melayu dong

Pertempuran Tours (10 Oktober 732) atau Pertempuran Poitiers atau  Pertempuran Bangsal Syuhada ialah pertempuran yang tercetus di Tours, kira-kira  di timur laut Poitiers, sekitar kawasan bersempadan antara wilayah kekuasaan Frank dan Aquitaine merdeka. Dalam pertempuran ini, orang Frank dan Burgundi pimpinan Charles Martel, penguasa Austrasia melawan tentera Bani Umayyah pimpinan gabenor Al-Andalus Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi. Pertempuran ini berakhir dengan kemenangan bangsa Frank, terbunuhnya Al-Ghafiqi, serta perluasan kekuasaan Martel ke selatan. Perincian pertempuran ini, termasuk lokasi yang sama dan jumlah tentera yang bertarung dalam pertempuran ini tidak dapat diketahui, namun menurut legenda pasukan Frank bertempur tanpa menggunakan pasukan berkuda.

Kemenangan Frank dalam pertempuran ini merupakan awal berdirinya Kekaisaran Karolingia dan dominasi bangsa Frank ke atas Eropah, dan menurut sebahagian sejarawan, kemenangan ini telah menyelamatkan Agama Kristian dan menahan penaklukan umat Islam di Eropah. "Pendirian kekuasaan Frank di Eropah barat menentukan takdir benua tersebut, dan Pertempuran Tours memastikan kekuasaan tersebut."
