My definition is SPECIFICALLY the period of Nordic expansion, or around 793 to 1100.Depends on your definition of "great Viking period".
The Scandinavian Crusades after this period more rightly belong to the general period of European Expansion as much of the Scandinavian world was becoming integrated into the larger European civilization of the High Middle Ages.
