    Questions-Vikings and such

    "Viking" was an activity, not a people. "To go a viking" usually meant
    raiding, but could also include trading depending on how tough the people
    the met were. The Scandavians who went viking through Russia and down to
    Byzantium did indeed found many settlements and the early "Russian"
    kingdoms. As for them and the Finns, I thought the Finns weren't afraid of
    them because they could kick their viking butts back to where they came
    from if they had to. That and not having much the vikings wanted to take by
    force.

    Definately technically true. However, the term was eventually applied to
    the people, at least by their victims.
