While researching a video I'm making about Berserkers, I keep seeing people referencing a Lindybeige video called

"Berserkers! The Facts and the Fictions"

Unfortunately, this silly video has inspired a horde of half-wits to disseminate pseudo-history on every video related in any way to berserkers--even music videos.

It's one of the top results for the search term 'berserker' and it has over a million views, and it makes claims like "berserkers didn't go berserk" and that instead they were champions who fought duels and wore bearskin shirts; he calls the notion that "berserkers went berserk" something that a 13-year-old boy would believe.

The problem is that if you read an actual book written by an expert in the field--someone who actually knows old Norse-- you will read that *berserkers did go berserk*.
