Well for starters the word "Viking" means for one to go raiding(to go viking). The bad reputation given to the Danes, Norwegians and Swedes "Viking" activity was do to the shear speed and brutality of there attacks killing indiscriminately taking everything they could fit on a boat then racing off. The "Vikings" were also pagans and all pagans were seen as heathens to Christendom. The Danes and Norwegians early on mostly attacked Christian sites in places such as France, Ireland, Germany and Island of Britain. They would later come back to settle and in the case of England and France becomes rulers, in Ireland they founded the first cities. The Swedes on the other hand mostly attacked in the east in places such as Finland, the Baltic states, Russia and the Byzantine Empire.
