  • The Muslims planned to go to Tours to destroy the Church of St. Martin, the city, and the whole country. By the grace of Our Lord, we wrought a great slaughter upon the enemies of Christian faith, so that, as history bears witness, we slew in that battle 300,000 men, likewise their king by name Abderrahman. And what was the greatest marvel of all, we only lost in that battle 1500 men. The tents and harness of the enemy were taken; and whatever else they possessed became a prey to us. Eudes, Duke of Aquitaine, being now reconciled with us,, later slew as many of the Saracens as he could find who had escaped from the battle.
