(c.688-741) Duke of Austrasia, son of Pepin of Heristal, died at Quierzy on the Oise. By force of arms he became mayor of the palace in 717, and reestablished the authority of the Frankish monarchy, conquering the Neustrians, and the Saxons and other Germanic tribes. In 732 he defeated the Moors in the great battle of Tours, and was thereafter called Martel (the Hammer). He used ecclesiastical lands and dignities as military awards, but later restored the rights of the Catholic hierarchy and established social order. At his death he divided the Empire between his two sons.
