In medieval Europe, the largest Muslim community was in Spain, especially in the South. Medieval Spain had Christian countries and Muslim countries, but the people of those countries were mixes of Christians, Muslims, and Jews. The time of Muslim government in at least parts of Spain was 711 AD to 1492. Muslims based in Spain invaded France, but were defeated and withdrew.

Sicily was an Arab emirate from 965 to 1072, after which it was captured by Normans and became a Christian Norman kingdom. Parts of Italy were also held by Muslims briefly during the time of the Emirate of Sicily.

Muslims were in conflict with the Byzantine Empire during most of the Middle Ages. They occupied large parts of the Balkans by the time the Middle Ages ended, and there are numbers of them still there.
