@caitlinrgreen ahaan well our exposure with Vikings is mainly from the TV series :D but a as far as I know they settled in very small number
@Umarkarim89 Also intriguing--I gather some of expelled Jews ended up in Cairo, but significant number of Muslims returned after expulsion?

@caitlinrgreen well it depends you are talking about Muslim explusion 4m where? as in case of Spain thr were no Muslims left -
@Umarkarim89 Ah, my understanding=many nominally converted to Christianity (Moriscos), these later expelled but significant number returned? -
