Vikings In Iberia
Viking activity in the Iberian peninsula seems to have begun around the mid-ninth century as an extension of Viking expansion, Viking raids on and establishment of bases in Francia, Frankia in the earlier ninth century. While connections between the Norse and Eastern Islamic lands were well-established, particularly involving the Rus' people, Rus' along the Volga and around the Caspian Sea, relations with the Western edge of Islam were more sporadic and haphazard.Anne Kormann and Else Roesdahl, "The Vikings in Islamic Lands", in ''The Arabian Journey: Danish Connections with the Islamic World over a Thousand Years'', ed. K. von Folsach, T. Lundbaek, and P. Mortensen (Aarhus: Prehistoric Museum Moesgard, 1996), p. 12.

Indeed, the Iberian peninsula may not have offered particularly wealthy targets, in the ninth to tenth centuries.Ann Christys, ''Vikings in the South'' (London: Bloo ...
