Indeed they did. In fact, because 'Africa' at the time still referred to the rough territory of the former Roman province of that name, rather than the entire continent, the Sicilian king styled himself King of Africa while they controlled the territory.

Didn't Sweden make it to modern day Baltimore? I thought they had established a minor colony there before leaving

Sweden. A brief attempt at colonization between April and May 1732 before being ousted by natives.

Being ousted by natives seemed to end most Scandinavian colonies

Technically that'd be Tobago, not Trinidad. The Spanish established a stable colony on Trinidad quite early on, but it took ages for a successful colony on Tobago to be established. Many countries tried and failed, and I believe it was ultimately French colonists (albeit ones who would later swear fealty to Spain) who managed it.

Yes, the Norse settlements in Canada were called Helluland (Baffin Island), Markland (Labrador) and Vinland (Newfoundland).

I think it's a stretch to say Canada was 'controlled' by norse people...they made a temporary settlement on the east coast to establish a trade route but they didn't 'rule' anybody or claim the land for themselves as far as i know. Fun quiz regardless :)
