Vikings

The Vikings were originally raiders, warriors, and navigators that were from Scandinavia. The reason for why they left Scandinavia is unknown, though there are guesses such as they ran out of room for their population, the main Vikings didn't like the government, or they ran out of agricultural room. Any or all of this could be true, nobody knows. The point is, they left.

The places that the Vikings reached by boat ranged from North America with Leif Eriksson, North Africa, Russia, Constantinople, and the eastern parts of the middle east. They did this by attacking England and Charlemagne when and where they were fractured, and sailing where there was little or no naval presence. Not only were they smart enough to find their way there, but they had their attack all planned out. They knew exactly where the crumbling points of the empires were, and they attacked the whole empire there.
