If Paris had fallen, that would have been it for Christianity. <br /><br />I have a time-line on Islam attacks on western-Christian civilization. But I don't want to cheat.<br /><br />I have gotten St. Martin confused with this guy in the past. I think that there is a pretty famous painting of him in the battle.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08332138030182107580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932831182639117728.post-82345911617381963662010-05-31T17:26:02.513-06:002010-05-31T17:26:02.513-06:00Getting closer...Roland served under this person&#...Getting closer...Roland served under this person's grandson.swissmisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11091563100968996825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932831182639117728.post-79956456578371778002010-05-31T17:10:21.171-06:002010-05-31T17:10:21.171-06:00Swissie:

It is not St. Martin of Tours, but this person had an important victory at the Battle of Tours.
