Many Norse were ‘Vikingr’ (roving and marauding adventures) others were ‘Kaupamadr’ (buyers and sellers of merchandise), they were the masters of trading goods across their known world. More than a few of their ‘Hafn’ (harbour/port trading towns) have grown to be among the largest North West Europe Cities today, but the largest activity in Nordic society was domestic and rural (fishing and farming).

Most free Norse were ‘Bondi’ (free born oath givers), and many of them lived in a ‘Hafn’ along the coastline of North West Europe. A Bondi would not have had a Longhouse or a trader’s shop as home, his family would have lived in a smaller dwelling. Though not as important and influential as a ‘Karl’ or as wealthy as a shrewd trading ‘Kaupamadr’, Bondi made up the mass of Norse who went a ‘Vikingr’ and it was not unknown for a low born Bondi to become a great warlord and have sagas told of his deeds long after his end of days.
