Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
"In 732, the governor general of Muslim Spain, Abd ar-Rahman al-Ghafiqi, led an army across the Pyrenees and conquered Acquitaine, laying waste to Bordeaux, He then headed for the kingdom of the Franks, toward the city of Tours. The Frankish leader Charles Martel placed his 30,000-strong army on high, wooded ground, in their line of advance. . . . After a long fight, most of the Muslim horsemen withdrew to defend their war chests, and, abandoned by his men, Abd ar-Rahman al-Ghafiqi was surrounded and killed." The Battle of Tours is also called the Battle of Poitiers. [1001 Days]
