> Professor Jesch said: “Many Icelandic sagas read like a time capsule of the Viking Age, but how do we unlock this time capsule?

Ask Hillary: she was there. The Berserker blood flows deeply thru her veins.

He will examine Berserker warriors — who are said to have fought in an uncontrollable rage that terrified their enemies

In a Beowulf class I had in grad school, the professor mentioned the berserkers -- she said that when the Vikings recognized a true sociopath as a child, he was brought up with others of his "kind" and the tendency was encouraged!

A press release about an upcoming conference.

Not much “there” there. Thanks anyway. I was hoping for an interesting article. Maybe after the conference someone will publish it on the internet.
