Frankish expedition and conquest of Septimania

The siege of Narbonne took place in France between 752 and 759, led by the Frankish king Pepin the Short against the Umayyad temporary camp defended by a small garrison of Arab and Berber Muslim troops who had invaded Septimania and occupied the Visigothic Kingdom and its Gallo-Roman inhabitants since 719.
