Or just the Norse in general, reminder that it was Norsemen who guarded the Roman Emperor in Constantinople.
Viking was not a nationality, it was a job, so your point is in some ways more accurate.
That and what we generally think of as "Vikings" were actually Danes, which is an insult to Swedes.
Hence why I specified Norse, Vikings could just as easily be called pirates or reevers.
