The original Vikings as I recall were actually a pretty diverse bunch and pretty egalitarian towards women for their time too.

They went from raiders to traders, after they realized there were more benefits in occupying an area than in stealing from it. And they traded with people all over the Mediterranean.

But the Swedish Vikings focused on the lands across the Baltic, where they eventually established the colony of Rus.
