Muslim Sicily

Available for over a year

Islam has been an integral part of Europe’s story for more than a thousand years, and few places show that more clearly than Sicily. Tharik Hussain, author of 'Muslim Europe', joins us to explain how this island became Muslim, and how its culture was adopted by later Norman rulers to create one of the most fascinating hybrid societies in medieval Europe. Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Tim Arstall. All music from Epidemic Sounds/All3Media. Dan Snow's History Hit is a History Hit podcast.
