Färentuna Runestones

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Färentuna runestones are labelled U 20/U 21 and U 22, and they are located at Färentuna, Uppland, Sweden. The runestone U 20/U 21 is probably most interesting as it tells the story of the family of Gerlög and Inga together with the Hillersjö stone and the Snottsta and Vreta stones.
