In England the Viking Age began dramatically on 8 June 793 when Vikings destroyed the abbey on Lindisfarne.

The culture had been around for centuries before that though.

The end of the Viking Age is traditionally marked in England by the failed invasion attempted by the Norwegian king Harald III who was defeated by Saxon King Harold Godwinson in 1066 at the Battle of Stamford Bridge.

In Scandinavia the Viking age is considered to have ended with the establishment of royal authority in the Scandinavian countries and the establishment of Christianity as the dominant religion. The date is usually put somewhere in the early 11th century in all three Scandinavian countries.

They might have lived 1,000 years ago or more. But I'm not quite sure. Something near it anyway.
