793 CE

The Umayyad general Abd-al-Màlik ibn Abd-al-Wàhid ibn Mughith is more fortunate on his approach to Carcassonne, where he defeats Louis the Pious' Carolingian mentor William of Orange.

However, surprisingly, the expedition does not advance deeper into Carolingian territory, but results in hefty loot and numerous slaves, which in turn provide the funds to expand the Great Mosque of Cordoba and build many mosques.
