This is the unique original Gouache painting by Jack Keay.

The painting shows troops of Charles the Hammer invading what proved to be a deserted Muslim camp at the start of the second day of a battle at Poitiers between Christian French and Saracens.

Because of the heavy blows Duke Charles showered upon the Saracens he was called Charles the Hammer. Charles was the Grandfather of the greatest of early French Kings - Charlemagne.
