Scandinavian Vikings
Vikings were Germanic Norse seafarers, speaking the Old Norse language, who rowed/sailed, raided and traded from their Scandinavian homelands across wide areas of northern and central Europe, as well as European Russia, during the late 8th to late 11th centuries.
We are their descendants..
