So there have been a rather large number of Spain-screws popping up and while I was pondering them all I suddenly wondered what would happen if the Visigoths didn't fall to the Umayyad Caliphate? I decided against posing this question and instead decided to pose the following one.
What if during the opening phase of the Battle of Guadalete the Muslim commander, Tariq ibn Ziyad, of the invading army was killed and the Visigoths went on to have a decisive Visigothic victory?
Would the battle become somthing analogous to the Battle of Tours? Would the Muslim invasion of Hispania come to an end? How does a surviving Visigothic Kingdom effect western Europe?
