This may have been a topic already discussed by others on the forum but I would like to discuss it for a book I am writing on it.
What if the Battle of Tours was lost by Charles Martel and won by Abdul Rahman Al Ghafiqi?
In my book I already discussed how Ghafiqi continued his conquest until he had controlled all parts of the Frankish Empire and the Duchy of Aquitaine. Also how the Frankish peasants were allowed to go into exile, convert or be killed. This is all of what I have written. If anyone on the forums has any contribution about what Ghafqi's or any figure's actions during this time period would be please say so or if you have anything that might help me write the book( info on 8th century muslim philosophy, the Church at the time, the Byzantine Empire at the time ) please contribute to this thread.
I don't want this to turn into a discussion on how important of a battle this was or that the two sieges of Constantinople in 717 and 720 were more important. In the context of this novel the Battle of Tours was one of THE MOST important battles for Christianity and that is how i am treating it.
Thanks.
