The Swedes were Vikings, along with the Danes and Norwegians. The Vikings, having over-looted the places nearest to them - France, England etc, went further afield as traders and conquerors, getting as far as Baghdad in the east, and North East Canada and America in the west. They made two failed attempts at capturing Constantinople, and successfully established the Kingdom of Sicily and Naples. They penetrated Russia - the first Prince of Kiev, forefather of the Czars, was Rurik (Hroerekr). Having taken everything in northern France, they had perforce to settle down and produce something and became the Normans (Norsemen). William the Conquerer's Norse forbears had occupied the area a mere hundred years before he crossed the Channel to grab England.
