On that bier lay the last son of Berserker and sea-king: and be it, O Harold, remembered in thine honour, that not by the Norman, but by thee, true-hearted Saxon, was trampled on the English soil the Ravager of the World!
"Harold, Book 10. The Last Of The Saxon Kings"
Edward Bulwer-Lytton
In all Courtland's self-control, habits of coolness, and discipline, it is to be feared there was still something of the old Berserker temper.
"Sally Dows and Other Stories"
Bret Harte
The great, strong, badly-dressed, badly-appointed servitor, who seemed almost at the same time utterly reckless of, and nervously alive to, the opinion of all around him, with his bursts of womanly tenderness and Berserker rage, alternating like storms and sunshine of a July day on a high moorland, his keen sense of humor and appreciation of all the good things of life, the use and enjoyment of which he was so steadily denying himself from high principle, had from the first seized powerfully on all Tom's sympathies, and was daily gaining more hold upon him.

Thomas Hughes
