Did you know Vikings didn’t just raid Europe — they attacked the Islamic world too? In this high-production short, we explore how Viking longships sailed over 2,000 miles south into Muslim territories, striking cities across Al-Andalus, North Africa, Morocco, the Balearic Islands, and even Sicily during the Islamic Golden Age.
From the brutal 844 raid on Seville, where Amir Abd al-Rahman II crushed the Norse invaders, to the daring expeditions of Björn Ironside and Hastein through the Strait of Gibraltar, this video covers one of the most surprising and explosive chapters of Viking history.
Discover how Norse warriors clashed with Muslim empires, battled fortified ports, raided coastal kingdoms, and pushed deeper into the Mediterranean than most people ever imagine.
Perfect for fans of Viking history, Islamic history, medieval warfare, and forgotten historical encounters.
