The Vikings besieged Seville and demanded money from other cities in Al-Andalus. However, due to the resistance from the Islamic commander Abdullah ibn Hazm and the city's inhabitants, the Vikings withdrew after only 13 days, defeated.
Abd al-Rahman al-Awsat established a large and powerful fleet to continuously guard the coasts and borders. He successfully engaged the Viking fleet, repelling them back to the sea from which they came, despite the invasion lasting 42 days.
The Vikings successfully entered Seville with 450 ships, causing widespread destruction, looting, and burning mosques and palaces. However, a Muslim army from the east and west surrounded and defeated them, expelling them from the city, though they subsequently attacked Almería and Murcia before being decisively defeated by Abd al-Rahman al-Awsat's forces.
