@rayhanquez124: In 844, a large Viking fleet arrived on the Iberian Peninsula after raiding parts of Western Europe. The Vikings attacked Lisbon and then sailed up the Guadalquivir River toward Seville. They captured and plundered Seville for several days. The Emirate of Córdoba, ruled by Abd al-Rahman II, responded by mobilizing its army. The Vikings were defeated near Seville and eventually withdrew from al-Andalus. Following the raid, Abd al-Rahman II strengthened coastal fortifications and established a more powerful naval force. #abdurahmanaddakhil #viking #andalusia #History #islamichistory
