Berserkr, or berserkers, were a class of Viking warriors. Wielding two axes, berserkers bore almost no armor and fought with fervour.[1]
Behind the scenes[edit | edit source]
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.
