Carlos Martel HERSTAL [37m]* ® ¹

  Eventos de relevo na sua vida:

• Anotações gerais. Charles Martel (685-741) Maire du palais, fils de Pépin le Jeune. A la mort de son père, il est emprisonné par la deuxième femme de celui-ci. L'agitation des Frisons et des Neustriens fait tomber le gouvernement. Il est libéré en 715 puis est élu maire du palais et parvient à rétablir le calme. Respecté pour ses victoires, il impose son autorité aux derniers Mérovingiens et fait couronner Thierry IV. Il lance une série d'expéditions pour soumettre les peuples germaniques. Il ramène ainsi dans le giron de la royauté la Frise, la Saxe et la future Bavière. Il se heurte en 732 aux armées arabes qui, venues du nord de l'Espagne, envahissent l'Aquitaine et tentent de prendre le contrôle du pays. Il parvient à arrêter les troupes sarrazines commandés par Abd-al-Rahman, à la bataille de Poitiers. Son prestige devient alors immense, et il est de fait le souverain de l'empire franc. Il intègre l'Aquitaine à son domaine mais ne parvient pas à faire du royaume une entité solide. Ainsi, à l'avènement de ses fils Pépin le Bref et Carloman, les régions périphériques de l'état se révoltent. Leur première tâche sera de les pacifier.

• Anotações gerais. ³ Charles Martel (c. 688-741), Carolingian ruler of the Frankish kingdom of Austrasia (in present north-east France and south-west Germany). Charles, whose surname means "the hammer", was the son of Pepin of Herstal and the grandfather of Charlemagne. Pepin was mayor of the palace under the last kings of the Merovingian dynasty. When he died in 714, Charles, an illegitimate son, was imprisoned by his father's widow, but he escaped in 715 and was proclaimed mayor of the palace by the Austrasians. A war between Austrasia and the Frankish kingdom of Neustria (now part of France) followed, and at the end of it Charles became the undisputed ruler of all the Franks. Although he was engaged in wars against the Alamanni, Bavarians, and Saxons, his greatest achievements were against the Muslims from Spain, who invaded France in 732. Charles defeated them near Poitiers in a great battle in which the Muslim leader, Abd-ar-Rahman, the Emir of Spain, was killed. The progress of Islam, which had filled all Christendom with alarm, was thus checked for a time. Charles drove the Muslims out of the Rhône valley in 739, when they had again advanced into France as far as Lyon, leaving them nothing of their possessions north of the Pyrenees beyond the River Aude. Charles died in Quierzy, on the River Oise, leaving the kingdom divided between his two sons, Carloman and Pepin the Short.
