His military campaign has been interpreted early on as a crusade, although he and his retinue spent the larger part of their journey attacking coastal cities and islands in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean—regardless of whether they were ruled by Muslims or Christians. Taking contemporary Arabic, Latin, and Old Nordic sources into account, the article examines the king’s saga dedicated to Sigurd as written by the Icelandic scholar Snorri Sturluson (d. 1241). Snorri describes an extended campaign displaying all characteristics of a typical Viking Age voyage. This raises the question whether Sigurd’s journey to Jerusalem can really count as a crusade.

The latter took his information on Šlašwīq and its inhabitants from a travel account written by the tenth-century Andalusian traveller Ibrāhīm b. Yaʿqūb al-Isrāʾīlī al-Ṭurṭūšī. The article considers the origin and transmission of this travelogue and endeavours to resolve which historical place is actually to be identified with Šlašwīq. A large part of the study debates the extent to which this Arabic-Islamic description of Šlašwīq reflects the historical realities of the tenth-century Baltic region, or the subjective impressions of the Andalusian traveller and his later compiler.
