"Infantry before the era of bayonet were armed with pikes and firearms.
In the 1600s the Swedish infantry was considered as the best in the World.
They were tall and strong men , well-trained , and led by great generals ."
"The Swedes are long, strong, flexible, able to endure the hard work, hunger and distress. They are born warriors full of pride." Francois Voltaire in 1713
Rex All hail, Glory of the Swedes, King Gustavus Adolphus, that bearest the Sceptre of the Realm. Thou alone art the Lord's Anointed. Hail to thee, Good King. To thee I shall give honour and glory with all my heart. Join me in song, ye Mountain Dwellers. The vanguisher of the foe is here. King Gustavus Father of our Country.
On the subject of diplomacy: "The sword has to do the best for it does not jest".
- Karl (Charles) XII (1682-1718), Swedish warrior king.
"This shall hence become my music" ..upon hearing the sound of gunfire during his first real battle.
- Karl XII
"I'll likely be married to the soldier mob for better and for worse to live and to die."

In Swedish prehistory, the Vendel era (550-793) is the name given to a part of the Germanic Iron Age (or, more generally, the Migration Period).
""It is said that from the time of the Vendel period just before the Viking age that seeing a person wearing a Vendel helmet even if he was on his horse alone up a hill the enemy would retreat since they knew a Vendel commander would have many thousands under his command maybe behind him over the hill waiting for his signal of attack.""

The Varangian Guard was only used in battle during critical moments, or where the battle was most fierce. Contemporary Byzantine chroniclers note with a mix of terror and fascination that the "Scandinavians were frightening both in appearance and in equipment, they attacked with reckless rage and neither cared about losing blood nor their wounds". The description probably refers to go berserk as the vikings were well known for.
"Scholar Hilda Ellis-Davidson draws a parallel between berserkers and the mention by the Byzantine emperor Constantine VII (AD 905--959) in his book De cerimoniis aulae byzantinae ("Book of Ceremonies of the Byzantine court") of a "Gothic Dance" performed by members of his Varangian Guard (Norse warriors working in the service of the Byzantine Empire), who took part wearing animal skins and masks: she believes this may have been connected with berserker rites.
The actual fit of madness the berserker experienced was referred to as berserkergang ("going berserk"). This condition has been described as follows:
This fury, which was called berserkergang, occurred not only in the heat of battle, but also during laborious work. Men who were thus seized performed things which otherwise seemed impossible for human power. This condition is said to have begun with shivering, chattering of the teeth, and chill in the body, and then the face swelled and changed its colour. With this was connected a great hot-headedness, which at last gave over into a great rage, under which they howled as wild animals, bit the edge of their shields, and cut down everything they met without discriminating between friend or foe. When this condition ceased, a great dulling of the mind and feebleness followed, which could last for one or several days"
Viking Prayer:
Lo, there do I see my father.
Lo, there do I see my mother,
and my sisters, and my brothers.
Lo, there do I see the line of my people,
Back to the beginning!
Lo, they do call to me.
They bid me take my place among them,
In the halls of Valhalla!
Where the brave may live
Forever!
Christian Prayer:
"Save us, oh lord, from the wrath of the Norsemen"
By Ibn Rustah around the 800century:
When a son is born, the Viking father will go up to the newborn baby, sword in hand; throwing it down, he says, "I shall not leave you with any property: You have only what you can provide with this weapon."
