Ragnar Lothbrok and the Viking Raid on Seville 844

from Ragnar Lothbrok: Legend, Myth, and Historical Reality — Fexingo History · host Fexingo

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. #VikingAge #AlAndalus #Seville844 #RagnarLothbrok #Umayyad #AbdAlRahmanII #IbnAlQutiyya #AlMaqqari #VikingRaids #MediterraneanVikings #IslamicIberia #NorseHistory #History #FexingoHistory #EarlyMiddleAges #VikingDiaspora #Cordoba #ArabChronicles Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
