I am not a 'world expert', but from what I have been reading, the Vikings were generally all equal, like a "team", so they were usually sailing for each other and for their local villages and families. They weren't usually sailing for a King or a country. (There were 'Jarls', or "Earls" among them, but they were not always sailing 'for' them.) Some Vikings were hired mercenaries, especially down around what is now Turkey. ( Most of my reading has been about Viking raids, not Viking merchant trading.)
