Vikings are also supposed to have raided Italy -having entered the Mediterranean Sea they thought that they had come to Rome and instead attacked a city near Genoa called Luna which they mistook for Rome.Much later the Normans,descendants of the Vikings conquered Sicily and southern Italy from Arabs,Byzantines and Lombards and established a flourishing kingdom.

That’s is not true at all, read the Story again, there is much more they did than the Vikings achieved.

Interesting but this could be a bit more critical of the sources. It is hard to imagine that Viking war lords could gather so many ships for such a far off and unknown destination. This was before thee Scandinavian countries were united to Norway, Denmark and Sweden. On the other hand the losses in asturia and in Spain seem a bit too much. And wi dont really know who led those fleets. the sources namiming them came much later.

Ah! Muslims were in Spain for about 800 years, but never dominated all regions. A small Christian kingdom resisted in the north as a kingdom. That's history.

Learn about Ramiro or the King Pelayo and you will find that is true what I'm talking about.
