The document discusses Viking history and culture. It notes that Vikings are commonly depicted as barbarians who raided villages wearing horned helmets, but this is an exaggeration. In reality, Vikings spanned from 780-1100 AD and conducted raids, but not all Scandinavians were Vikings.

Vikings hailed from Norway, Denmark, and Sweden and raided different regions, but are generally discussed as one group.
