What is the historicity of Jöfurr (boar warriors) as berserkers?
In my research on Norse berserkers, I’ve found out that there were different types or possibly classes of warriors, like the ulfheðnar. I’ve also found mentions of a hypothetical boar type of berserkers, possibly known as jöfurr. However, it’s existence is disputed. I’m wondering whether someone can definitively tell me if there is proof of Jöfurr or not.
Thanks in advance!
