In the TV Series Vikings and The Last Kingdom, certain warriors are often seen to fight in pitched battles using two one-handed weapons. Is there any evidence to suggest that warriors would actually do this?

I am aware that battles at this time heavily relied on the shield wall, and from what I can find there is little suggesting that use of two one-handed weapons is historically accurate. Is there any evidence to suggest that people from Scandinavia would fight in battle this way?
