I'm assuming you are relating to the Saxons, who are often called Vikings. They were a people, originating in the Jutland, who often raided coastal towns, as well as towns near rivers, during the early medieval period. These raids were primarily concentrated on the British Isles, though there were instances in northern Europe. In addition, a Viking by the name "Erik the Red", should I recall properly, sailed to "Greenland" (present-day Greenland), and there is even archaeological evidence that these people even established villages on the eastern coast of Canada, in Nova Scotia.
