Surprise the longboat could be used in rivers that other ship type couldn't go.

The Feudal society only a few men at arms were actuality professional soldiers and it took time to muster a force.

Vikings were stealthy they looked for easy targets for example churches took what they could and went away again.

They used psychological warfare farmers that had resisted had their arms or legs cut off so that people would know the consequence for resisting the Vikings.

The Vikings were an infantry force much better than the continent that mainly relied on cavalry to win battles.

Vikings knew that horses would not charge into a solid mass of men and they formed a shield wall throwing javelins at the horses along with other weapons that could do damage.

They were also loyal the bodyguard the Huscarls would not leave the field if their chieftain had been killed they would keep fighting and join him in the afterlife.

The landscape of Scandinavia was tough and cold only the strong would survive the hard life that was ahead of them they did not fear death.

Being killed in battle would take you to Valhalla were all your ancestors had gone before you.
