I noticed you didn't mention the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, the Welsh Chronicles and a number of other histories that are contemporary to the Norse Sagas. Also, if you are interested, the British History Podcast covers this period quite extensively, and it makes for some really interesting listening (if you have the time). I think the key takeaway is that there were Vikings like there were Romans - it tends to be a catch-all phrase to describe a certain group of people who lived a certain way. This term, however, ignores the fact you had Norwegians, Danes, Swedes, etc. (rather like using Roman ignores the fact there were Etruscans, Latins, etc. in Italy, and later other peoples became "Roman" during the Empire).
