Viking

The Vikings were Scandinavian pirates and traders who plundered Europe from the 8th to 10th centuries. Being the only widely known representatives of their people, their name became synonymous with the Nordic culture itself.

During the 9th century, a group of Vikings stole the flask containing Fenric, taking it to Northumberland and Maiden's Point. They buried the flask beneath St. Jude's Church, leaving a runic inscription warning that the flask was cursed. Their descendants settled the area. Among the vikings were Asmund, Rognvald, Torkel and Halfdan. (DW: The Curse of Fenric)

In 1066, the Monk planned to sabotage a Viking raid in order to ensure King Harold Godwinson's victory, but was prevented from doing so by the First Doctor. (DW: The Time Meddler)
