2014-11-03
EUDON THE GREAT
Duke of Aquitaine and Vasconie (Gascony), born in 665 A.D.succeeded his father Boggison about 681.
He added to his dominions large tracts obtained by conquest from the Kings of Austrasia and Neustria. In 720 a large army of Saracens invaded his dominions, and were signally defeated near Tolosa (Toulouse), the capital of Eudon. About 732 Aquitaine was invaded by Abderrahman the Saracen, who defeated Eudon. The latter then solicited the aid of his former enemy Charles Martel, who gained an important victory over the Saracens at Poitiers. Died in 735 A.D.
