To be honest, I'm not a big fan of the concept of meta-ethnicities as it is often used. I would call that meta-linguistic groups. And if you noticed, my idea of ethnicity (Hispano-Occitan) is closer to your idea of it (Scandinavian). Where others would use 'Romance' and 'Germanic' respectively.

From all I know, Viking was a phenomenon that occurred in a certain time period in Scandinavia, by which people embarked on a trip for different reasons: finding new lands, raiding and plundering, or trading. This was apparently more often among the second-born as the first-born inherited.

Not different to the phenomenon of the Conquistador in Spain. And also here the second-born (segundones) had to set themselves to buscar fama y fortuna (search fame and fortune). While the inheritance went to the Primogénito or the Hereu.
