How did Charles Martel build on the successes of Clovis?
http://www.historyworld.net/wrldhis/PlainTextHistories.asp?historyid=ab74 Hope this helps :)
Charles Martel: AD 727-741 After asserting his rule over the traditional territories of the Frankish realm, Charles wages long campaigns against the pagan Germanic tribes who constantly raid his northern and eastern borders - Frisians, [ Saxons and Bavarians. (He also lends strong support to the missionary activities of St Boniface, hoping that conversion to Christianity will tame the heathens). Barbarians on these frontiers have been a constant threat for centuries to settled Gaul. But in recent decades there has also been a new and powerful group of intruders pressing in from the south - the Arabs in Spain. ]
