Too much Hollywood cinema. History shows a different picture of those who went a Viking (adventuring) as merchants more than mercenaries. Marauders may make headlines but the Vikings were no different from the Europeans coming over and 'pirating' the new America...

So says one 'Viking' a skilled metal worker, jewelry maker, artist, farmer, wood carver, and trader.
