They were definitely a problem by the end of the seventh century. A Viking raid on Lindisfarne in 793 was widely commented on through Western Europe. It is this raid that is used to date the beginning of the Viking Age. Nevertheless, we know that the Romans in Britain had to set up naval bases to combat what they described as pirates from the North, so the Vikings may already have been working in ancient times.
The Viking Age ended as Viking leaders were incorporated into French and English political systems. Normandy was named for the Vikings who settled there, and the Normans conquered England in 1066. But by that time they were more French than Norse. In Central Europe also, the Vikings were successfully established as leades of city states by the end of the 12th century. In fact, the name Russia refers to them.

What is a viking saga?
A Norse saga is a true story, written about 1000 years ago in gammel-norsk or icelandic. Many of these are about viking, and are referred to as viking sagas. It is important to note that viking is a verb : it referred to what the people did, rather than who they were. Viking was a form of piracy, where people went to see in good, seaworthy boats, capable of long voyages. The essential difference between viking and piracy was that the attacks were not on other ships but on villages or towns on, or close to, the seashore.
