Viking

The Vikings were Scandinavian pirates and traiders 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 Northumbria and Maiden's Point. They buried the flask beneath St. Jude's Church, leaving a runic inscription warning that the flask was cursed. Their descendents settled the area. (DW: The Curse of Fenric)

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