Berserkir (or berserks / Berserkers) were Norse warriors who are primarily reported in Icelandic literature to have fought in a trance-like fury. These champions would often go into battle without mail-coats. Berserkers are attested in numerous Old Norse sources.
The earliest surviving reference to the term "berserker" is in Haraldskvæði, a skaldic poem composed by Thórbiörn Hornklofi in the late 9th century in honor of King Harald Fairhair, as ulfheðnar ("men clad in wolf skins"). This translation from the Haraldskvæði saga describes Harald's berserkers:
"I'll ask of the berserks, you tasters of blood,
Those intrepid heroes, how are they treated?
Those who wade out into battle?
Wolf-skinned, they are called. In battle
They bear bloody shields.
Red with blood are their spears when they come to fight.
They form a closed group.
The prince, in his wisdom, puts trust in such men
Who hack through enemy shields."
Many earlier sagas portrayed berserkers as bodyguards, elite soldiers, and champions of kings.
The Icelandic historian and poet Snorri Sturluson (1179–1241) wrote the following description of berserkers in his Ynglinga saga:
His (Odin's) men rushed forwards without armor, were as mad as dogs or wolves, bit their shields, and were strong as bears or wild oxen, and killed people at a blow, but neither fire nor iron told upon them. This was called Berserkergang.
