No. The Renaissance (meaning rebirth in French) originated in Italy in the 1300s. The Vikings were around far earlier. The Renaissance centered around the reuse and rebirth of art and literature that focused on non-Christian themes. People started painting scenes from Greek mythology and so on. Artists in the Renaissance included Da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael (if you're a Ninja Turtles fan, they're all named for Renaissance artists). The Renaissance also included literature. Some Renaissance writers were Dante (the Divine Comedy, which was important because it was written in Italian not Latin) and Shakespeare (later Renaissance in England).
He wrote, "The Divine Comedy". Most books were written in Latin at the time, so instead, he wrote it in Italian. By doing this, he almost single-handedly made Italian a literary language, really impacting the Renaissance. He was a towering figure of European literature.
If there was a major event that triggered the beginning of the Renaissance, it was a Fundamentalist reaction in Islam. In 1175 the reaction had already swept across Northern Africa. It arrived in Spain. The students of Averroes pleaded with him to flee with them to Paris where they appreciated learning. Averroes refused to go. His students fled ahead of the mob. Averroes looked out of his window and saw the fundamentalist mob burning his books. Averroes survived and the copies of his books that his students took to Paris survived. In the Divine Comedy, Dante places Averroes in the Limbo compartment. It was the artists, musicians, and scholars of Islam bringing that knowledge to Europe that brought the Renaissance.
Divine Comedy was created in 1321.
