Where did you get this snippit of info, if you refering to the sagas I think you need more evidence to support your line of thought.
Sorry for being off topic but evidence I sought out suggests that vikings and saxons did not wear kilts.
Which one were you after? Kindness and compassion for each people, I think we can document. The clothing migration has already been covered and I don't think that's as well supported.
