Vikings were Norse or Scandinavian raiders and seafarers. From the late 8th to early 12th centuries they raided wide areas of Europe and also established many governments, and trading networks. The Vikings were known for their ferocity and sailing ability. The word “Viking” does not describe the Norse or Scandinavian people as a whole, but rather it describes the Norse or Scandinavian men who went sailing and raiding.
The vast majority of Viking raiders were male, and the main reason they originally started their raiding was because they wanted to acquire women from foreign lands for sex and marriage. Viking men would return from their raiding with large amounts of women that they had kidnapped. Polygyny was common, so rich and powerful Viking warriors had many wives and concubines.
Apart from Europe, the Vikings had activities in faraway regions such as North Africa, and the Middle East. There is also ample evidence that Vikings had colonized parts of North America. The Vikings have had an undeniable impact on the course of world history.

Vikings were known for their ferocity in battle. They would often defeat their enemies, and then steal their women.

Get the Techno Viking mug.The most treasured and elusive sexual move of all time. When one is in a flirtacious situation with a woman, and brings her back to the room for some "heavy petting". When they get to the room and the woman has de-clothed, the man goes to his closet and says, "Hold on, I have something for you." He pulls out a viking helmet and a sword, which the woman puts on. She is sitting on the side of the bed, and the man then says, "I'll be right back." He never comes back. The woman is alone. In a viking outfit. Hence, the "Lonely Viking".
