The word raping doesn't mean the same as what we see it as now, well, the older meaning still exists but the older one is closer to pillaging. Vikings 'raping' was more taking the resources of a place they are invading as part of war.

You sure? I mean when you're already pillaging a village why pass on the raping? Those were men a long time alone on sea and the road.

My statement was slightly off, pillaging is taking the resources, raping is destroying the area. That's why people usually say raping and pillaging in one go. See number 2 of this: https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/rape

And technically... they weren't alone.
