The Siege of Lisbon was a military campaign and siege at the city of Lisbon. The Norwegian Realm fought the Iberian Muslims at the city in 1109. The Norwegians eventually won, and suffered very low casualties. The siege in particular had impact on Lisbon because of the ongoing Christian and Muslim conflicts in the Iberian peninsula.
Background
In 1109 a Norwegian fleet of 60 ships entered Lisbon through the Tagus river under the command of Sigurd I of Norway. [1] There they would eventually siege the city and hand it over to the Christian Kingdom of León through their vassal and Henry, Count of Portugal.
The siege
Although much of the actual siege is unknown it is described as a vast and bloody battle around and inside the city of Lisbon. The walls being broken by catapults, and the Norwegian army suffering low casualities and losses. The Norwegian army with Sigurd the Crusader at the head of it plundered and seized the city successfully. The siege and raid on the Muslim city is often refered to as Sigurds third victory during his crusade. [2] And is often recognised to have a major impact on the Reconquista.
Aftermath
It is unknown how much Sigurds siege contributed to the Reconquista, although much suggests an impact, with even scholars refering to the norse raids of Iberia and the Balearic islands as part of a larger history of Islamic Iberia. [3] Some of the men that were captured in the siege were baptized afterwars. The king took what he could carry before leaving the city to continue the Crusade. He would later go on to attack the Barbary pirates of Majorca before continuing the journey to Sicily.
Shortly after the siege, the city was handed over to the Kingdom of León through Henry, Count of Portugal. Evidence point to there being some sort of agreement between Sigurd and Count Henry of Portugal however there are no direct record of the alliance. [a] Even with the coincidence of events, since Henry captured Sintra at least once in 1109. This suggests coordination between the two leaders, though it should not be ruled out that this might be pure luck. [4]
