Indeed. It certainly helped solidify that dynastic line.
I have even heard the not entirely tongue in cheek appraisal that winning at Tours was one of the

What they are referencing is the state of knowledge in Western Europe at the time (the so called "Dark" Ages) as compared to the Arabic world. Or the levels of knowledge and arts that the latter would attain, pursue and patronize shortly. At least in Spain.
