Norsemen

Early inhabitants of Norway. The term Norsemen is also applied to Scandinavian Vikings who traded, explored, and raided far afield from their homelands during the 8th–11th centuries, settling in Iceland, Greenland, Russia, the British Isles, and northern France. The term is sometimes used to refer specifically to western Scandinavians or just to Norwegians.

The Norse religion (banned in 1000) was recognized by the Icelandic government in 1973.
