The Norse people lived from about A.D. 200 to 500 in northern Europe and Scandinavia. After A.D. 700, the Norse migrated in search of new lands, settling in parts of the British Isles, Iceland, Greenland and East into Russia. From this period on, the Norse are known as Vikings.

People who lived in the northern part of Europe, Norsemen = North-men. Culturally, these are people from what is now Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Denmark. Often called Vikings, but I saw on the History channel that vikings are not a people, the word was an activity meaning to go raiding.

The Norsemen, more commonly known as Vikings, originated in Scandinavia (Denmark, Sweden, Norway) and later settled in Iceland, Greenland, and Vinland (now known as Newfoundland).
