It is thought that Merovech

of the medieval Franks was at some point deemed worthy to carry Thor’s Hammer during a special emergency time when Attila and the Huns had almost conquered all of Europe. At the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains in year 451,

Merovech used the hammer against Attila and the Huns. The details of the true events after he used the hammer, other than Atilla’s defeat, were afterward purposely hidden, and false stories spread in its place for the purpose of being easily able to hide the hammer again. What stories do come down to us about the effect of Merovech using Thor’s Hammer involve it creating profound awe in all who witnessed it. Comparable to the use of nuclear weapons today, but of even greater power. It’s said Merovech lightly tapped the hammer a single time in a signal against Attila’s forces. The effect was so efficient and immediate against Attila, that afterward Merovech was severely disturbed and counseled all involved to immediately hide the hammer so that he could not swing it again. Merovech and the hammer’s secret society elders would not permit the hammer to be used again even to finish fully driving the Huns out of eastern Europe. The result of this single tap of Thor’s Hammer by Merovech forever established him as a legend among the Frankish people, so that his descendants ruled the Franks as the Merovingian dynasty for two hundred years afterward.
FRANKISH KING CHARLES USES THE HAMMER AGAINST UMMAYAD MUSLIMS (year 732)
The last time Thor’s hammer is said to have been used was during the Battle of Tours in year 732, by Charles Martel, also of the Franks. At the time, the Arab Muslim Umayyad Caliphate was on the verge of taking over all the developed world to place it under Muslim Sharia Law. The Umayyads sought to eliminate their last major rival in, the Byzantine Empire, which would finally leave them unopposed to finish conquering the Eurasian continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans. The Umayyads were about to finish an encirclement of the Byzantines by going up and around through Spain and Europe to hit the Byzantines on their western border. This would force the Byzantines into a two front war during a time when they were struggling to maintain the stalemate of a single front war with the Ummayads. In addition to cutting off the supplies coming from their white and Christian allies in Europe, Byzantium would certainly fall if this occurred, and then there would be nothing left to restrain the Umayyads from world domination. In 732, only the small army of the Franks under a Merovingian king was left standing in the way of an enormous Umayyad Muslim force and their goal.
In this situation, the secret societies initiated the unlocking of the Thor’s Hammer location, and they gave it to the Merovingian king, a patrilineal descendent of Merovech. Yet the memory of Merovech’s extreme emotional disturbance after using the hammer still haunted his descendants even 300 years later. Thus the hammer was given over to his main government minister, the palace mayor Charles, son of Pepin of Herstal,

who afterward became known as Charles Martel, meaning Charles the Hammer.
Upon hearing the story of Merovech’s use of the hammer, Charles became decidedly cautious about using it. The attributes of the hammer told to him were that it would not break no matter how hard it was swung, and that if thrown it would always hit its intended target and always return to the thrower. Charles was curious to test the qualities of the hammer, yet ruled out ever testing its destructive strength, and so instead amused himself that no matter how secretively or where he would throw the hammer, it was always fetched and brought back to him shortly afterward by some member connected into the secret orders surrounding the hammer.
