A stylized berserkr on a longship sail

Berserkr were a class of Viking warriors. Wielding two axes, berserkers bore almost no armor and fought with fervour.[1]

Behind the scenes

Berserkr is Old Norse compound word usually translated as 'bear-shirt'. The reference to wearing a bear's skin signified the ability and ferocity of the warrior.[2]

The image used on the sails of the longship is based on the depiction of a berserker on one of the Torslunda plates.
