Reasons to love Charles The Hammer
Arabs didn't have oil in the 8th century
Charles the Hammer stood up to the Islam invasilon that had rampaged and pillaged through Spain. Even then Abd er Rahman, had a Fatwa from the Caliph to teach unbelievers a lesson, but he failed dismally when he came up against Charlie. Charles didn't have the problem of fighting for oil, because nobody knew of it's existance then, so he had no problem vanquishing the Arabs, unlike now where everybody in the Western World falls over to accomodate them. One day we will run out of oil, tough shit on Islam then. He was the grandfather of Charlemagne. Great Charles The Hammer stuff from Amazon

- Charles Martel is part of my linage. He would be considered my 43rd great grandfather.
History shows he was one of the main reasons why Christianity survived in Western Europe from the rule of Islam. Which leads me to believe he may have had more of an impact to who we are today than Charlemagne (first appointed roman emporer) which is my 41st great granfather. It gives me great pride knowing my linage had such a huge part of our history.
