By C “H” Martel, Satan’s Trinity

 

Charles Martel was born circa 687 AD, in what is now Belgium.  He was the illegitimate son of Pippin II of Herstal and upon his father’s death the father’s widow had Charles put in prison so as not to be a competitor for her own son’s inheritance.  Charles, however, escaped prison and took over as a leader of the Franks.  After many years of internecine conflict Charles emerged as the undisputed ruler of the Franks.  Throughout his life he resisted the title of King possibly as a result of his illegitimacy but, whatever the reason, a remarkable demonstration of humility for a political leader of any time or place.

            Martel was reputedly a tall, powerfully built man with the agility of a much smaller person.  He spent his entire life in combat and formed the Franks of Western Europe into a superb fighting machine.  He did retreat once in a battle early in his career because he recognized his forces were not quite ready for the opponent.  So, in mid contest, he sounded the retreat and returned later to defeat this foe once he had gotten his troops up to speed.  If this one instance can be called a defeat then it was the only one in his twenty-four year career.

            In the late 720’s Martel recognized the threat posed by Islamic forces south of Gaul (France) in the Iberian Peninsula.  He then took it upon himself to form the first all professional army in Europe since the collapse of the Roman Empire.  To pay for this he confiscated the means from the religious orders of Western Europe.  For a while he risked being excommunicated until the priests realized Martel’s army was the only thing standing in the way of the Islamic host and their own potential beheading.
