Robert Low's Oathsworn series has been recommended to me. I went ahead and bought the first one, but haven't actually read it yet.

If fantasy is acceptable, more Poul Anderson:

The Broken Sword
The Demon of Scattery

There is also the series, The King's Hounds, by the Danish author Martin Jensen.

The story takes place in the 11th century, when the Danish king Cnut has conquered most of England.

The protagonists are a former monk and a young ruined nobleman hired by the king to investigate various crimes.

There are 6 books in Danish and the first 3 are available in English.

Here is a link to the first book in the series:

This is considered a classic of Swedish fiction, read more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Long_Ships

If you want a classic piece of literature (rather than genre fiction), I wholeheartedly recommend this book:

"The Long Ships," by Frans G. Bengtsson.

Either Amazon or Kobo (can't remember which one) had a great price on this book recently.

Don't mix up Saxons and Vikings, or some Dane might punch you in the mouth!

Ill throw in a recommendation for The Long Ships too. It's just a great book.

I'll also echo comments that recommended Poul Anderson. If you don't mind fantasy, he's written some awesome Viking novels like Hrolf Kraki’s Saga and Mother of Kings.
