How did the Vikings get wiped out?
They didn't get "wiped out".
As the Vikings began to gain control of more land over Europe and England, they settled and eventually started to cease their murderous pillages across Europe and England.
The main reason the Vikings pillaged other civilisations such as England, is because England had plenty of fertile land and healthy cattle as well as riches in the form of Christian gold.
The homeland of the Vikings was very infertile and very poor. In order to prevent their people being wiped out, the Vikings raided the more fertile, thriving civilisations to feed their own.
As pointed out above, once the Vikings were happy that they had acquired enough land to survive on, they ceased their pillages and settled for normal lives all over Northern Europe and Middle-England.
They were never wiped out.

Leif Ericson (Old Norse: Leifr EirÃksson)[1] (c. 970 - c. 1020) was a Norse[2] explorer who is regarded as the first European to land in North America (excluding Greenland), nearly five hundred years before Christopher Columbus.[3] According to the Sagas of Icelanders, he established a Norse settlement at Vinland, which has been tentatively identified with the L'Anse aux Meadows Norse site on the northern tip of the island of Newfoundland in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.
It is believed that Leif was born about AD 970 in Iceland, the son of Erik the Red (Old Norse: EirÃkr inn rauði), a Norse explorer from Western Norway, an outlaw and himself the son of an outlaw, Thorvald Asvaldsson. Leif's mother was Thjodhild (Þjóðhildr).[4] Erik the Red founded two Norse colonies in Greenland, the Western Settlement and the Eastern Settlement, as he named them. In both EirÃks saga rauða and Landnáma, Leif's father is said to have met and married Leif's mother Thjodhild in Iceland; the site of Leif's birth is not known.[5]
Leif Ericson had two brothers, Thorvald and Thorsteinn, and one half sister,[citation needed] FreydÃs. He married a woman named Thorgunna, and they had one son, Thorkell Leifsson.

Were Viking slaves allowed to get married?
- They were not allowed to get married officially but allowed to make intercourse sex with other slave women.
- The slave - or "trell", as the Vikings called him, is not mentioned in the law because they were not protected by the law.
- The slave was owned by his owner in the same way the owner owned his domestic animals. Slaves were looked upon as the owner's property. The owner could buy and sell a slave, and he could treat his slave as he liked.
- When a female slave bore a child, her child automatically became the property of her owner. If a pregnant slave was sold, her unborn child became the new owner's property as well.
