The young woman, Ella, watched as her father and brothers were beheaded before her eyes.
She, along with her younger sister, were tied together with the captive women and children, now the slaves and concubines of the Arab invaders. Ella feared she would never see her mother and her beloved homeland again.
For the first time in history, a great Muslim Army under the command of General Abd-al-Rahman al-Ghafiqi, invaded what would become the heartland of Christian Europe to loot and conquer.
But standing in General Abd-al-Rahman’s way was one of the truly great, yet little-known, heroes of Western Civilization. His name, CHARLES MARTEL. But to his loyal men, Knights of Our Lord, he was known “affectionately” as The Hammer.
In fact, I believe he was prepared purposely by God. In this Episode you will see how the choices, the leadership, the sacrifice of one man shaped who you are today.
