Who are called Norsemen?

Norsemen-does it sound new to you like me?

Does Viking sound familiar to you like me? May I take the liberty is assuming that neither of us really don't what or who is a 'VIKING' though we have come across the word several times in our life?

Norsemen are also called Viking. Here are more names for them.
Ascomannii
Lochlanach
Dene
Rus

This group is originally said to have settled in the Scandinavia. According to Wikipedia, Viking has been a common term for Norsemen in the early medieval period, especially in connection with raids and monastic plundering made by Norsemen in Great Britain and Ireland.

Asatru faith requires many items for their prayer that includes a Thor's Hammer, a prayer cloth, a Mead Horn used for drinking Wassail, a drum made of wood and boar skin, a rune staff and a sword.
