Why do people give more credit to Charlemagne over Charles Martel, the true hero of our story?

Because Aquitaine was holding off the Moslems just fine until Martel stabbed them in the back, and then he stepped in to "solve" the problem he created himself.
Not to mention the real war between Christianity and Islam was going on in Byzantium, not France. Thinking Tours or Martel is important beyond the rise of the Carolingian dynasty is the ultimate sign of a military history pleb, or worse, a Creasy fan.
