The real Vikings were those 8th to 12th century Norsemen from what is now Sweden, Norway and Denmark. They were raiders, traders, marauders. They cruised around in their long boats and attacked the Atlantic coastal areas of Europe. They conquered and then settled much of England and what is now Normandy in northern France.
