Anotace knihy

In the ninth century, Vikings raided Christian northern Spain and Muslim al-Andalus, going on to attack North Africa, southern Francia and Italy and perhaps sailing as far as Byzantium. A century later, Vikings killed a bishop of Santiago de Compostela and harried the coasts of al-Andalus. Most of the raids after this date were small in scale, but several of the heroes of the Old Norse sagas were said to have raided in Spain. These Vikings have been sidelined in the general histories of the Viking Age. This is partly because many stories about their activities were written in Arabic. They have either been taken as literally true, however unlikely, or dismissed out of hand. This book reconsiders the Arabic material as part of a dossier that also includes Latin chronicles and charters as well as archaeological and place-name evidence. Arabic authors and their Latin contemporaries remembered Vikings in Iberia in surprisingly similar ways. How they did so sheds light on contemporary responses to Vikings throughout the medieval world.
