Yes in 1010 vikings warned Greeks in Crete to surrender.Since the answer was no the Vikings decided to hit the Cretians.However Byzantine ships arrived from Constantinopole to help.As the Greeks were defending the island inthe south,the ships hit the enemies from the north.After their big defeat,the Nordic men were just around 1000-1300 left alone in the Aegean Sea far from Italy [where the Vikings last populations were].Their last desission was to attack Pelopomesse where they lost again.That happened because they were a few without big powers anymore.They finally decided to live in South Euboea untill they lose their decline [They were planning to attack again in a hundrent years].However years passed quickly and in around 1440 the last surviving population died in Cape Kafireas because of the plague that had just spread up in Europe.
