In Old Norse, the term Viking does not appear to be employed for any people or culture. However, in the ninth century the word "wicing" appeared in an Anglo Saxon poem Widsith, and the term generally referred to Scandinavian Raiders.
In modern English this term has evolved into Viking, describing the Nordic seafaring people who explored, traded and raided from their Northern European homelands during the late eighth to the late eleventh centuries.
