The Battle of Formentera (1109) (Norwegian: Slaget ved Formentera) was a part of a military campaign against the muslims of the Balearic Islands.[1] The raid was a huge success for the Norwegian crusaders, facing low casualties. Islamic scholars have referred to the Norwegian raids in the region as part of a larger history of Islamic Spain.[1]
