Ragnar Lothbrok and the Viking Raid on Seville 844
Om avsnittet
In 844, a Viking fleet appeared off the coast of Islamic Iberia, sacking Seville and clashing with the Umayyad emir Abd al-Rahman II. This episode explores the little-known southern raid, its connection to Ragnar Lothbrok, and what Arab chroniclers like Ibn al-Qutiyya and al-Maqqari recorded. We discuss the role of the Almoravid and Abbasid contexts, the heat of the battle, and how captives ended up as eunuchs in the palace of Cordoba. A forgotten chapter of Viking expansion.
