About this listen

In 844, a Viking fleet raided the coast of al-Andalus, sacking Seville and facing the formidable emir Abd al-Rahman II. This episode explores the raid's place in Viking expansion, the Umayyad response, and the cultural clash between Norse and Islamic worlds. Drawing on accounts from Ibn al-Qutiyya and other Arabic chroniclers, Lucas and Luna discuss the logistics, the battle, and the legacy of this audacious incursion. What happened when Vikings met the Caliphate? Did the raid inspire later alliances or enmities? Discover a forgotten episode in the age of Ragnar Lothbrok.
