True, but remember that the Christians of Francia, Saxony and England were every bit as savage as the Vikings. In part, the sacking of Christian monasteries was in retaliation for the sacking and burning of pagan Danish settlements by Charles the Great and his successors.

The more interesting definition is what constituted a city in the relevant period of history. Important nexi of trade would easily achieve city status without thousands of citizens.

Many were substantial places, even in Viking times: A Brief History of Dublin, Ireland The first documented history of Dublin begins with the Viking raids in the 8th and 9th century. These led to the establishment of a settlement on the southside of the mouth of the Liffey, named Dubh Linn (Black Pool) after the lake where the Danes first moored their boats. Despite stone fortifications, Dublin town was sacked many times over the next two centuries but always recovered. By the 11th Century, Dublin prospered, mainly due to close trading links with the English towns of Chester and Bristol and soon became the most important town in Ireland with a population of about 4,000.
