All vikings were required to carry weapons at all time.  Kings and Jarls (the wealthy ones) had a full set of weapons and armour.  They held a helmet, shield, mail shirt, and sword.  But swords were hardly ever used in battle.  The weapons they did use though in combat were spears, bows, and two handed axes.

In the viking age there were four levels in the hierarchy table.  The hierarchy table goes Kings, Earls/Jarls, Carl's, then Slave.  The Kings have total power over the lands they owned as rulers, being situated in the top of the hierarchic pyramid.  The Earls/Jarls they ruled over petty kingdoms that were subsequently unified into larger kingdoms, being chief amongst people from a certain region.  The Carls they comprised the vast majority of the Norsemen who lived in freedom being farmers, fisherman, blacksmiths, and carpenters.  Then the Slaves had no freedom over property, actions, or their own destinies.  All the vikings build their houses from wood and stone.  The houses were shaped in a long rectangle.  The animals and vikings both lived together.  The animals were at one end and the humans were at the other end.
