Charles: Yeah, its pretty cool.
Me: So you led your army against the Arabian army in the Battle of Tours, right?
Charles: Yes I did, and what people don't seem to realize about that battle is the importance of it. That battle had a huge influence on stopping the Arabian advance on Gaul, and long term kept the Muslim Empire from expanding all the way through Europe.
Me: Later on, after your death, many historians praised you as the champion of Christianity because, like you said before, you kept Islam from spreading to Europe. How do you feel about that?
Charles: I frankly feel like I deserve that praise because like I stated before, this was a huge battle in terms of importance and in terms of deaths.
Me: Well thank you for coming in it was a true pleasure.
