the turks were not from what is today known as turkey. They came from Algeria and Morroco and at that time its was known as Tyrkjaveldið (the turkish empire). Later they took over Constantinoble and the land was called Turkey.
@MrA1WAR Didn't the Turks originally came from Central Asia, between the Altai mountain range and Lake Baikal? Their military successes in Anatolia made Alexios I Komnenos aks for help, which resulted in the first crusade.
@wilhelmrk I'm not wrong. I wasn't talking about were they originally came from, but were the turks that invaded Iceland were from at that point in time.
@Svindsson It's more than just "Turkish". "Tyrkja" are those who come from Turkey and "ránið" means "the theft".
In the 17th centrury pirates from Turkey came to Iceland and stole many people from Iceland, shipped them to Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Libya to be sold.
@widefukinopen that would be the The Church of Hallgrimur, Reykjavik, Iceland. You can read about it on wikipedia for example, search for: Hallgrímskirkja. The religion is Lutheran.
Magnifique musique !

Barbary pirates kidnapped about 300 people from Vestmannaeyjar. Ironic because the island is named after Irish slaves captured by the Norse.

@runedesoleil you are right. But Algeria belonged to Turkey or was a vassal at the time, thus came that they were Turks. ;)
