In the summer of 844 A.D., the Norse raided al-Andalus, sacking Cadiz, Lisbon, Medina Sidonia and Capturing Seville. For a little over a month the Norse held Seville before Emir ‘Abd al-Rahmān II (r. 822–852) took back his glorious city, from a Norse army of about 15,000, with reinforcements from his Calvary. Many vigorous battles were fought from the river and over land with sword and bow.
