#Jarlabanke

[broomswept]

Big fan of that PR2-PR3 style runestone (U 164) that a guy erected in honor of himself instead of a deceased loved one.

"Jarlabanke Ingefastsson is famous for raising runestones dedicated to himself—in fact, today he is more famous for his ego than the events which the stones originally commemorated. " - Scandinavianarcheology.com

Old norse: Jarlabanki lét reisa steina þessa at sik kvikvan, ok brú þessa gerði fyrir ônd sína, ok einn átti allan Tábý. Guð hjalpi ônd hans.

("Jarlabanki had these stones raised in memory of himself while alive, and made this bridge for his spirit, and (he) alone owned all of Tábýr. May God help his spirit.")

Me and one of my friends were out on a little runestone safari in Täby and Vallentuna yesterday. This is one of the Jarlabanke Runestones. It's located at the causeway known as Jarlabanke's bridge. Jarlabanke was a well-to-do landowner who had the causeway built across a 150 m stretch of otherwise impassable wetland around 1050 CE. A third of the causeway has been reconstructed with the help of a drawing from the end of the 17th century (but of course we don't know if it really looked like that in Jarlabanke's day as well).

a viking with a lil bit of an overinflated ego

the typical rune stone that talks about real people is a memorial stone over a dead loved one. and it is almost always clearly written out which relative/friend of the dead one paid for the rune stone. 

fuck that! said Jarlabanke and ordered six rune stone to made about him while he was still alive. and instead about writing the typical message of hoping that the gods will take care of a dead loved ones soul, his stone is bragging about how rich he is.

so this is one of jarlebanke rune stones:

The text reads “Jarlabanke lät resa dessa stenar efter sig, medan han levde, och han gjorde denna bro för sin själ, och ensam ägde han hela Täby.”

which roughly translates to: “jarlebanke ordered this runes stones to be made. while he was still alive. and he built this bridge for his soul, cause he alone owned all of täby”

*falls over giggling* this is wonderful. being humble? nah. jarlabanke says: “I OWN THIS REGION!! I MAKE SIX STONES!!”

also täby is still called that and is today a rich suburb to stockholm. so he litterally sounds like täbys first rich fuck boy tm. a iron age fuck boy

Rune stone # U 150 - Karby, Täby socken

This rune stone is unfortunately damaged and parts of the stone is missing. There is no beginning and end of the inscription, but the full text is known thanks to drawings from the 1600s, when the stone still was intact.

Jarlabanke and his family have raised a great number of stones in Täby and surrounding parishes.

Runestones in Risbyle and Gällsta. They are both raised by sons in memory of their fathers.

One of the Broby bro Runestones. It was raised by Estrid, the grandmother of Jarlabanke, after her first husband Östen. They both went on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, but Östen did not return.

"Estrid had these stones raised in memory of Östen, her husbandman, who went to Jerusalem and met his end up in Greece."

I hope that one day I can visit some of the pre-Christian runestones (or better yet, see the picture stones on the island of Gotland).
