Weird title, makes it seem like a reveleation. There have been numerous Viking treasures discovered in Sweden with traces from the the Islamic world and it's well known that they were all over England as well.

There was even a movie with Antonio Banderas about it! (The 13th Warrior)

There is an interesting book about Viking trade connections, "River Kings" by Cat Jarman.
