Did the Vikings live in the Iron age or the Bronze age?

The Vikings lived during the Viking Age, which is generally dated from the late 8th century to the early 11th century. This period falls within the Iron Age in Northern Europe, as the Iron Age began around 500 BCE and continued until the beginning of the Middle Ages. The Bronze Age, on the other hand, preceded the Iron Age and ended in this region around 500 BCE. Therefore, the Vikings were primarily Iron Age people.
