Well, anything scandinavian related from the medieval period is viking, right?
I hate bloody vikings! A bunch of lazy folk pillaging defenceless sites and running as soon as serious opposition showed up.
And if they raider back home they were sure to stay away from home when retaliation came knocking and torched the village.
One if the funnier episodes was sometime after Lindisfarne a monastery learned that vikings were coming their way from farmers fleeing the marauders.
The monks prepared a hasty defence. And then they beat the living daylight out of the vikings, sent them packing and captured their leader.
