Northman
Scandinavian seafaring warrior
A Northman is a person from northern regions, particularly Scandinavia.
The term appears most often in historical contexts referring to Vikings and other Norse peoples who raided and settled across Europe during the medieval period: The Northmen sailed up the river to sack the monastery.
In fantasy literature and games, Northmen typically inhabit cold, rugged lands and embody warrior cultures.
