The Battle of Ibiza also known as The Raid on Ibiza was a part of a military campaign against the Muslims of the Balearic Islands.[1] Islamic scholars have referred to the Norwegian raids in the region as part of a larger history of Islamic Spain.[2] After winning a battle at the island of Formentera, Sigurd would go on to attack the islands of Ibiza, which is only separated from Formentera by a narrow channel.[2]
