MOD VIKINGS
THE NAME ‘VIKING’ MEANS’ A PIRATE RAID’ IN THE OLD NORSE LANGUAGE
Ever wondered where the word ‘berserk’ comes from?
‘Berserkers’ was the name of some terrifying Viking warriors who wore bear or wolf skins and howled in battle like wild animals! The Vikings were famous for sailing huge distances from their home in Scandinavia between AD 800 and 1066 to raid and plunder, but they also traded with people from other countries.
