I know about their attack on Spain at the city of Seville but was there anything else. |

In the same campaign, they fought at Lisbon, Cadiz, Algeciras, and possibly into Morocco. There were later Viking raids in 859 and 966. link |

Must have encountered them in Russia. The Vikings travelled all the way to Constantinople. |

I dont have the reference, but I remember reading an article about raids in the Black Sea on Muslim sultanates in the Caucasus. |

Salutations, gentlefolk ! You may want to look up link on King Sigurd I of Norway and the Norwegian Crusade of 1107-1110 Also perhaps of interest link if you are looking for music appropriate for a Viking army going into battle |

The Rus raided around the Caspian Sea in the 10th century. The Viking Road to Byzantium, has a chapter covering their Caspian activities. |

Ha! That Longships scene reminds me of the Ladies Auxiliary Club reenacting Pearl Harbor! |

They sold a lot of slaves to Islamic cities. Hard to believe there wasn't some fighting. |

The story of Bjorn Ironside would make a great basis for a Viking campaign set in the Mediterranean. link |

I just posted a similar question about appropriate miniatures for this confrontation. If anyone has suggestions for 28mm Muslims for the Seville campaign please let me know. |

Wow, that battle is pretty cheesy… |
