Most of the "vikings" during the viking age where not vikings at all. They were farmers. A viking is not a nationality, but rather a profession that was undertook most commonly by the 2nd sons of chieftains and kings to make a name for themselves, inviting along their friends and hired soldiers to fill up the ranks.
