Humpty Dumpty
Hyûmpeti Dûmpeti wanted it all.
So Hyûmpeti breached the castle wall.
All the King's horses and all the King's men,
Couldn't stop Hyûmpeti from plundr'ing again.
The nursery rhyme "London Bridge is Falling Down" may have been inspired by Viking raids on the city in the 9th and 10th centuries. The repeated line "Build it up with silver and gold" could reference the demands for ransom made by Viking invaders.

the event that started the Viking age was a big raid from the Netherlands

Oslo was founded right at the end of the Viking age, so probably not.
The first recorded Viking raid occurred in the year 793 against the great monastery of Lindisfarne off the northeast coast of England.
The best description of a Viking is a man that fierce, brave, and ruthless. Vikings would raid neighboring lands and brave the stormy northern seas.
The raid survivor would have thought that the vikings were pirates that wanted to steal everything from well off lands just because the thought they were poor; but they were not. The would have felt anxious for the raid to get over; if the raid was still occurring, and worried for the future of their country.
Plunder is what they sought starting about the year 800.
