No, I'm not. Far as I know. But, as opposed to you, I actually go with the findings of modern historians instead of wiki, since that's my own expertise which I spent four years studying at university. And it happens that I looked at that battle quite recently because it was featured in a scientific journal.
So, since you previously talked about taking science as truth, you might want to look up the details yourself. It's a very interesting battle in more aspects than one. Most of all because of the strategy involved.
You've studied it, great. Why was the battle fought? Over what? What was a Muslim army of between 30,000 and 60,000 troops doing in northern France?
