A man dying in battle would be collected by the Valkyries and transported to Valhalla, where he would be enrolled in the combat forces of the Gods, the einherjar. Every day the einherjar would slay each other on the battlefield, training for the fight to come at the End of Days, Ragnarok, and every night they would be resurrected and have a grand feast, eating roast pig and drinking buckets of mead. Men who died by accident or succumbed to disease, ended up in Helheim, the cold Underworld. So did women. Hence there are many accounts of old and frail men mustering up their strength to enter battle one last time, just to ensure that they died fighting.
