Presumably, the Wessexers would have known about the Welsh to their south, the Irish across the sea to the west and the Scots to the north.
Vikings have been surnamed "Viking" here for simple ease of data entry, and due to their complicated naming system which gives no surnames, but denotes individuals as eg., Olaf Gudsrodsson (son of Gudrod) or Helgi Gudrodsdottir (daughter of Gudrod).
This provides a contrast to the Wessexers, whose Wessex "surname" mostly reliably indicates the general territory they occupied in England.
