Before the stone church was built, one or perhaps two wooden post churches are believed to have stood on the same spot.

A few years ago, excavations were carried out under and around the runestone when it was moved to the church porch; the grave finds indicated that the churchyard must already have been unusually large in the High Middle Ages.

This means that the area must have had a large population before it was reduced by the Black Death.

 

In the 14th and 15th centuries, there was already a busy port and a small village on the Otra at the lowest point of today's Lund neighbourhood (Lahelle).

Another important element in the development of Kristiansand was the harbor on the island of Flekkerøy, which was the most important on the Skagerrak beginning in the 16th century and was first fortified under King Christian III in 1555. In 1635, King Christian IV ordered his feudal seigneur, Palle Rosenkrantz, to move from Nedenes and build a royal palace on the island.

This is not a slim stone with some random scratch-marks - though, admittedly it kind of looks like that. Well, it is slim but the scratches are actually runes. The inscription (partly seen in this shot) means, according to a nearby information sign: Roar raised this stone for Olve, his father. The stone dates to the first half of the 11th century and who Roar and Olve were is not known.

 

The top of this very tall, and slim, rune-stone had been broken off, but was later found at a nearby bridge and reassembled. The stone is from the area, but it has been moved around a bit so it is probably not in its exact original position.

A runestone from the 11th century, commemorating the building of a bridge over the river Kroppån - a feat already celebrated on another runestone, on the other side of the (see www.flickr.com/photos/dameboudicca/32497056838 ). This stone might very well be somewhat younger and therefore the meaning would be that the people responsible here made substantial repairs to an already existing bridge, or something like that. The stone has the official name SM 100, and spent some time laying down, but in 1885 it was put in its current position, not far from the spot where the original bridge must have stood - of course nothing really remains of that one.

 

What you can't really see in this picture is just how tall the stone actually is: it is well over 2 metres!

 

The inscription, in translation, runs: Tormar had the bridge done after [in memory] of Saxe, his son. God help his soul well.

The runestone is decorated with a cross (almost at the top of the stone), meaning that Tormar/Saxe family most likely where Christians.

A runestone from the 11th century, commemorating the building of a bridge - made by the two brothers who also commissioned this stone, in memory of their father. The stone is somewhat damaged, and used as building material for a road, before being put in its current position (which is approximately its original place) in the 1930s. The official number of this runestone is SM 99 (and can be found in Scandinavian Runic-text Database at Uppsala university), and the text in English would be something like: þurþR and þurbiourn made this bridge in memory of their father Verskulf.

 

Funny thing, there is a second runestone on the opposite side of the river (Kroppån), where other people are commemorating that THEY built a bridge here. The stones are probably referring to the same bridge, but that it at some point needed substantial repairs, and that counted as building a bridge. (The other stone can be found here: www.flickr.com/photos/dameboudicca/39787234343/ )

The Kristiansand area has been inhabited since prehistoric times. In 1996, the well-preserved skeleton of a woman dating to approximately 6500 BC was discovered in the neighbouring municipality of Søgne. This demonstrates very early habitation of the archipelago. Grauthelleren (Grathelleren), located on Fidjane, is believed to be a Stone Age settlement. The first discovery in Norway of a Sarup enclosure (a Neolithic form of ritual enclosure first identified at Sarup on the Danish island of Funen) was made in 2010 at Hamresanden and dates to c. 3400 BC. Archaeological excavations to the east of Oddernes Church have uncovered rural settlements that existed during the centuries immediately before and after the start of the common era. Together with a corresponding discovery in Rogaland, these settlements are unique in the Norwegian context; isolated farms, rather than villages, were the norm in ancient Norway. Other discoveries in grave mounds around the church, in the Lund section of the city, indicate habitation beginning c. 400 AD, and 25 cooking pits that were found immediately outside the church wall in 1907 are probably even older. One of the largest pre-Christian burial grounds in South Norway was formerly located to the south and west of the church. A royal centre is thought to have existed at Oddernes before 800, and the church was built around 1040.

This runestone (in Swedish known as Rökstenen, the Rök stone) has the longest preserved runic inscription in the world - and dating to the early 9th century. The date also means that it is about 200 years older than most runstones you will come across in Sweden. The paint-work is obviously restored in more modern times.

 

The text is written with the runic alphabet known as the futhark, which can be read. But much has happened to the language spoken here since the time it was written (they didn't speak what we would call Swedish then, but Old Norse), which means it can be quite hard to understand all the same. Not to mention the text seems to have been meant to be cryptic to begin with. So I won't get into what the stone actually says. But I can say the stone was erected by Varin in memory of his dead son Vämod.

 

For anyone more interested in the text I can actually recommend Wikipedia for it - where you can find it translated to for example English, German, French, Spanish and Italian, though I am less sure how much they get into how much the actual meaning of the text is debated.

 

Today you can find the stone next to the cemetery wall in Rök. It is not its original place (it even spent a few centuries in a wall), but the original placing was probably rather quite close by.

Øresund or Öresund (UK: /ˌɜːrəˈsʊnd/, US: /ˈɜːrəsʌn, -sʊnd, ˈɔːrəsʊnd/; Danish: Øresund [ˈøːɐˌsɔnˀ]; Swedish: Öresund [œːrɛˈsɵnːd]), commonly known in English as the Sound, is a strait which forms the Danish–Swedish border, separating Zealand (Denmark) from Scania (Sweden). The strait has a length of 118 kilometres (73 mi); its width varies from 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) to 28 kilometres (17 mi). It is 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) wide at its narrowest point between Helsingør in Denmark and Helsingborg in Sweden.

 

Name

 

The strait is called Øresund in Danish and Öresund in Swedish, informally Sundet (lit. "the Sound") in both languages. The first part of the name is øre "gravel/sand beach", and the second part is sund, i.e. "sound, strait".

 

The name is first attested on a runestone dated to ca. AD 1000, where it is written as ura suti, read as Old East Norse /øːrasundi/ (the dative case). The Old West Norse (and modern Icelandic) form of the name is Eyrarsund. Ør is the modern form of the old Norse word (aur) meaning a gravel beach or shoal (see also ayre), often forming a spit. Such landforms are common in the area and "ör" is found in many place names along the strait, e.g. Helsingør, Skanör, Dragør and Halör, an important center of trade during the Viking Age.

 

Extract from Wikipedia

a loud deep sudden grinding rumble could be heard. It startled me enough that I leapt up in flight, and there before my eyes like a magic enchantment, appeared a huge arched entrance with two guards each side of it. The brightest of white beamed all around, as if it had summoned me; willing me to approach it. I did with haste. Fairies by nature are usually curious and I was definitely curious. I wanted to know what lies behind this sorcery. Slowly I flew towards it, stopping and starting, edging even closer to it's opening. The brilliant white light that filled the entire area seemed to engulfed me, it did not feel threatening, but had a feeling of calm in it (perhaps the type of calm before a storm, I thought). The grand archway with it's outstanding architecture, illuminating in all of it's glory seemed to call upon me, and without warning suddenly a shield surround me and seemed to manoeuvre me towards it. I was no longer in control of my movements, it was pulling me towards it. I tried to escape but the more I struggled the more impossible it became to fight it, so I gave up! Deciding whatever happens now was beyond my control. As I stood before it's opening, I heard whispers calling around me "Runestones, Runestones reveal what lies beneath." The white light in it's opening slowly cleared and a brilliant blue appeared in it's place. Soft white mists which formed shapes, appeared solid, but separated as they drifted slowly away. Closing my eyes I let out a gasp praying I will live through this. In a strange way I felt excited, even though I was scared half to death.

The abandoned village of Galboly is nestled among one of the nine Glens of Antrim above Garron Point. The farming life was becoming increasingly difficult and most of the inhabitants abandoned the village in the 1950’s except for a monk who lived there until his death in 2013. The village was used as Runestone in the Vale of Arryn in seasons 5 & 6 of Game of Thrones.

Frösön (Frey's island; Swedish pronunciation: [fɾøːsøːn]; [fɾøːsœʏːa] in the local dialect, Jamtlandic) is the largest island in the lake Storsjön, located west of the city Östersund in Jämtland. During most of recorded history the island was the regional centre of Jämtland.

Frösön is the location of "Frösöstenen", the northernmost raised runestone in the world, dating from 1030-1050 AD. Frösön was a separate köping until 1974 but was merged with Östersund at that time.

The island is named after Freyr, the Norse God of fecundity and love.

The Swedish composer Wilhelm Peterson-Berger had a summer house (and from 1930 a permanent home) on the island. In 1896 Peterson-Berger composed a set of piano pieces entitled Frösöblomster (Flowers of Frösön), and his opera Arnljot from 1910 is partly based on the runic inscriptions on Frösö Runestone.

From yesterday's shooting of the movie 872. Make-up and photo:

Elisabeth Mainy.

Gothi or goði (plural goðar, fem. gyðja; Old Norse: guþi) was a position of political and social prominence in the Icelandic Commonwealth. The term originally had a religious significance, referring to a pagan leader responsible for a religious structure and communal feasts, but the title is primarily known as a secular political title from medieval Iceland.

From the pagan era in mainland Scandinavia, the only sources for the title are runestones. The Norwegian Nordhuglo stone from around AD 400 seems to place the title in opposition to magic, using a word related to the Old Norse gandr.

The inscription's Ek gudija ungandiR means "I, gudija" followed by "he who is immune to sorcery" or "he who does not engage in sorcery".T

he three Danish stones are all from Funen. The early Viking Age Helnæs and Flemløse 1 stones provide no details about the function of a guþi, but mention a guþi named Roulv whose name also appears on two other runestones, the lost Avnslev stone and the Flemløse 2 stone. The early 10th-century Glavendrup stone uses the term for a local dignitary who was associated with a vé, which is a religious structure. It thus attaches the title to a simultaneously secular and religious upper strata.

Several runestones face Uppsala's cathedral. They date to XI century, the era of transition of the people's beliefs from pagan gods to Christianity, often containing both an image of a cross and references to Thor.

 

Несколько рунических надгробий установлено рядом с собором Уппсалы. Они были созданы в XI веке, эпоху когда вера шведов сменялась с языческих богов на христианство; камни зачастую имеют одновременно изображение креста и упоминание Тора.

"Take my blood, mix it, drink it

Burn it up, burn in the flame

Cause only then can you adore me

Do what I say because this is the law

Do not believe me experience

Drink because there is not, there is no other way "

The legend of Saint Sigfrid of Sweden relates how Sigfrid, a missionary from England, chose Växjö as the site to build a cathedral. He was said to also have been buried in the cathedral that he founded. While the legend is largely unreliable as a historical source, it is probable that a wooden church was built on the same site as the current cathedral in the 11th century, during the Christianization of Scandinavia. Coins from the 11th century have been found during excavations within the church, and a preserved Christian runestone from the same century (Rundata number Sm 10), today located next to the choir wall, may be further indication of the early presence of a wooden church on the site.
