How important was the 710 Siege of Constantinople in European

Tours is literally the most overrated battle in history (repelling a raid ----> "OMG PREVENTED ALL OF EUROPE FROM BECOMING MUSLIM"), so yes.

It's undeniable Tours is "overrated" as the umayyads were far more focused on the byzantine, but at the same time they did conquer spain and if they hadn't been checked in france they probably would have carried on expanding. Therefore it is logically of larger significance to the europeans than it would be to the muslims.

Tours was important because of the message it sent more than tactical or strategic outcomes, I think.

By and large the history of Christian/Muslim warfare up to that point had pretty much been defeat over and over again when it counted, and I assume a lot of European rulers feared Muslim incursions because of that.

Of course I am not extremely well educated on this topic

Right, because the Arabs had absolutely no intention of expanding into France
