Moving on: Alternatively; Protect Abd al-Rahman ibn Abd Allah al-Ghafiqi, kill Charles Martel. Martel is to be given credit for personally taking out a loan from the Pope and training a standing force of heavy infantrymen into professional troops and refusing battle on anything except his...

Yet the Protestant Reformation saw large numbers of Arians pop out of the woodworks, shocking both the Protestants and Catholics who both agreed it had to be smashed, one of the few things they agreed on. It was there, they just were too premature in coming back out. Ultimately this is mainly...
