Not at all. The Vikings were a Germanic people who inhabited modern-day Norway, Sweden and Denmark, while the Gauls were a Celtic people who inhabited modern-day France, northern Italy, and parts of Spain, Switzerland, etc. Vikings spoke a totally different language to the Gauls who spoke Gallic/Gaulish, which is related to Irish and Scottish Gaelic, while the Vikings spoke a language closely related to modern Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, German, etc. They had their own unique cultures, and their own ways of waging wars.
