Also, those horned helmets are massively historically innacurate.

People. PEOPLE.

The people who lived in Scandinavia between one and three thousand years ago, who did a bit of raiding around the Northumberland coast and worshipped Odin, Týr, and Thor?

NOT. VIKINGS.

Well. Some of 'em were Vikings. That is because Viking was a job description. It more or less meant "far-farer" - i.e. a travelling, sea-faring warrior/pirate/raider/killing-people-who-aren't-us-person. It's like calling the English "bankers" or the Welsh "sheep-shaggers" just because they're the most recognisable employment-based stereotypes of those cultures.

The correct word is, if you need a unified word for the many disparate and often terminally argumentative groups of people who populated - broadly - that area at - broadly - that time and worshipped - broadly - those gods and partook - broadly - in those activities would be Norsemen.

Okay?
