Umayyad invasion of Gaul
Attempted invasion of southwest Francia by the Umayyad Caliphate (719–759 AD)
The Umayyads invaded Gaul following their conquest of the Iberian peninsula (711–718). The invasion occurred in two main phases, from AD 719 and from 732. Although the Umayyads secured control of Septimania, their incursions beyond this region into the Loire and Rhône valleys failed.
