نزول المجوس بإشبيلية (230هـ)
c. 844 CE · 230 AH
The great Majus raid of AH 230: the northern sea-raiders entered Seville itself; Córdoba's army fought them 'after a hard stand,' burnt some of their ships, and the raiders withdrew down the coast through Sidonia, Niebla, Beja and Lisbon before vanishing — Abd al-Rahman II then repaired what they had wrecked and reinforced the garrisons 1.

Overview
Al-Maqqari says that in the days of Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hakam the Majus appeared and entered Seville in 230 AH. 2
The fighting
The amir sent forces with commanders from Cordoba. The Majus came down from their ships and fought the Muslims, and were defeated after a difficult stand; then reinforcements came. The Muslims took some of their ships and burned them. 2
Their departure
The Majus moved on to Shadhuna and stayed there two days, then to Latila, where they raided and took captives, then to Beja and Ashbuna. Their news was cut off when they sailed from Ashbuna. Abd al-Rahman ordered what they had damaged repaired and left a garrison there. 2
