Might be "The Vikings", a 1958 film starring Kirk Douglas, Tony Curtis, Janet Leigh etc. It opens with a viking raid on an English village. Great film, long time since I saw it.
See the first pic in the post I just put up.

I guess the Vikings were using Roman mercenaries in that first pic!
"The Viking Queen" is a 1967 Hammer film.
There is an old movie in which the opening scene shows a Viking raid with the women being carried off ... I can't remember the name of it and there is no nudity of course, but I remember seeing it when I was very young and thinking that part was very exciting (in my weird way).

It may be the film: Erik The Viking.
"Erik the Viking and his men travel across the sea to find Valhalla to ask the gods to end the Age of Ragnarok."
Despite the initial scene and others in the course of the film, it is a comedy film.
Just see who is the director and some of the actors.
Film - Erik The Viking
Director - Terry Jones
Year - 1989
Tim Robbins - Erik
Mickey Rooney - Erik's Grandfather
Eartha Kitt - Freya
Terry Jones - King Arnulf
John Cleese - Halfdan the Black
Samantha Bond - Helga

Now, was this the one that had them travel to North Africa and encounter some horrible device of execution that involved sliding down a very long steel blade? Or was that another film?
Found it, it was another film, The Longships, 1964.
Richard Widmark.
"Mansuh reveals what might be the star of the film, the gruesome torture device “The Mare of Steel,” where the tortured slides down a 12 foot long blade face down. "

I remember that last one and how glad I was that they didn't show it in action! I can't remember a thing about the rest of that movie, guess it wasn't exactly an academy-award winner.
Yes.Has this thread drifted?
I can't tell anymore.
