I read only one fictionalized historical book about the Vikings, but it had it all. Sixth or eighth? century Vikings, roaming the seas around Europe. Written by Bengttson, (I think), the title: Red Orm (Röde Orm). I read it in Hungarian translation. A wonderful book, comparable only to the "Northwest Passage" by Kenneth Roberts (or Rogers). Both in the same genre, equally exciting, total immersion, full-experience books. The latter, in the colonial days of America, the English fighting the French and the Injuns. A must-read, both books, for older adolescent boys. Just enough testing of the characters for their stamina, strength and resistance, and just enough gore, in both books, to excite but not scare an older child or younger adult.

My horde had come from the East, on horseback, spreading terror near and far, until they settled in the Karpathian Basin.

Then ten times six score years after that I catapulted myself to the New Land on the back of a Giant Silver Bird, over the Great Water to the land of Winnetou, The Great Manitou, and the Gichimanidoes.

But by that time people have forgotten their legends; some of them got their families living in cages, tall and cold; some just stayed there and dusted away, past the age of old. I smell a world that is burnt...

Sixth is too early.
Britain got the brunt of the earliest of the vikings little pleasure trips.
The most famous of these is the raid on Lindisfarne, though there were sightings in the year before, the date for the raid on St. Cuthberts was Jan 793.
Those priests got what they deserved. All that bloody gold whilst their parishioners went hungry. Stick them like pigs!
