Do the Vikings deserve their bad reputation?

I think they don’t deserve their bad reputation because in Scandanavia  there is no food and farmland so the Vikings came for food  and Anglo-Saxsons ,Romans said no so they had to fight for food and land and they had to survive so how.And if someone was trying to kill you some how would you defend your self? [I would] .But some of them were farmers and the Beserkers were actally trying to kill the monks for nothing.And like i said before most of them were ordinary people.

This is what i disagree with.

People were saying that they do deserve their bad repution besause they killed people but that were the beserkers that

killed people for war so what do you think[i hope you say they don’t].
