How might berserkers have added to the vikings barbarous image?
Berserkers, the fierce warrior class of the Vikings, contributed significantly to their barbarous image through their frenzied combat style and ritualistic behavior. Often described as entering a trance-like rage, they would fight with intense ferocity, seemingly impervious to pain, which instilled fear in their enemies. Their use of animal skins, particularly bears, and their association with wild, uncontrollable behavior reinforced the perception of Vikings as savage and brutal warriors. This portrayal was further amplified by contemporary chroniclers who depicted them as embodiments of chaos and violence in battle.
Why were berserkers so frightening?
They were frightening because they looked like wild animals and let out terrifying screams.
