  • In the Middle Ages most people never saw a doctor. Peasants would normally visit a cunning woman or a monk who would provide them with some sort of herbal remedy as well as prayer. The few physicians that were available would only treat the rich. Naturally, people didn't tend to have quite as high of a life expectancy as we do these days. In this video, we're going to look into some of the many reasons why.

    Berserkers actually originated in Germania around 1st and 2nd century, it was later adopted by the northmen. Original berserkers were half naked with bear skins, northmen had a couple of variations between bear warriors, boar warriors and wolf warriors, but the entire tradition and preparation was very similar to germanic origins.

    Those people you described as "berserkers" are not actually berserkers. Men who went mad with rage during a fight is real it is mentioned in the egil's and various other sagas, however they are not berserkers. The word berserker is best translated to English as champion(although the literal translation is bare shirt however as today the word bare back then was also ambiguous to whether it means bare or bear) they would be part of the lord or kings retinue and would be a champion fighter who would be used to fight duels and so forth some berserkers may have gone berserk but that is not what made them a berserker. I don't like it when this myth of berserkers being these mad men whose sole purpose was to fly into a fit of rage on the battlefield is perpetuated as it is not true and just adds to peoples misunderstanding of history.

    • @M.S.G.95
      @M.S.G.95 Год назад +4

      Thought this exact thing, the whole "berserker" myth is a mess. A Berserker is essentially just a Lord's Champion, or someone who fought on behalf of a lord.
