Welcome to Berserkir Hjarta

A Belgium-based Viking reenactment group dedicated to bringing the vibrant and rugged world of Viking mercenaries to life.

Who We Are

Our name, which translates to "Heart of the Berserker," reflects the fierce spirit and camaraderie that define our group. Inspired by the historical accounts of Viking mercenaries who traveled far and wide, forging their destinies with sword and shield, we aim to depict their lives with authenticity and passion.

We are a diverse group of history enthusiasts, storytellers, and craftsmen, united by our fascination with the Viking Age. From fierce warriors to skilled artisans and wise skalds, our members embody the many facets of Viking life.

Our reenactments focus on the lesser-explored world of Viking mercenaries—adventurous souls who sailed beyond their homeland to offer their strength in exchange for wealth, glory, or alliances. Whether as hired swords in foreign armies or protectors of trade routes, these Vikings were an integral part of the era’s dynamic tapestry.

What We Do

  • Authentic Reenactments: We recreate the daily life, battles, and travels of Viking mercenaries, complete with historically accurate weapons, armor, and attire.
  • Living History Events: Through demonstrations, workshops, and interactive storytelling, we bring the Viking Age to life for audiences of all ages.
  • Craftsmanship and Skills: From blacksmithing to leatherworking and traditional cooking, we showcase the practical skills that sustained Viking warriors on their journeys.
  • Collaborative Adventures: As part of our narrative-driven approach, we weave storytelling into our reenactments, creating immersive experiences that blend history with creativity.
