TheJoker, that's not the only time that happened. I cant recall his name at the moment, but he was the Danish King at the mid 1000s. Before William invaded England in 1066 the Nordic king invaded England claiming his inheritance from King Knut (pronounced newt... no im serious). Anyways the British king attacked before expected, and Danes found themselves attacked off guard, unarmed (without armor, they had weapons), and in disarray. Suddenly a berzerker, well, berzerked. According to descriptions (on both sides so it is very reliable) he held a 2h axe in each hand and held off the entire English Army off for 2.5 hours by himself. He would deflect the arrows shot at him with the axes and showed absolutely no fear the entire time. It was not until one ingenious Brit put himself in a barrel upstream and floated down the river... putting a spear through the zerkers groin.
What a sad way for such a brave man to go...
Needless to say after that the Danes were demolished... only to have the brits lose weeks later to William.
