Färentuna Runestones
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Färentuna runestones are 11th century runestones in the younger futhark labelled U 20/U 21 and U 22, and they are located in 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. The numbering U20/21 is because the two fragments, U 20 and U 21, were registered separately, although, they come from the same original runestone (consequently called U 20/21).

[edit] U 20/U 21
The two fragments named U 20 and U 21 were originally part of the same rune stone and they are held to tell of the same family as the Hillersjö stone and the Snottsta and Vreta stones. This runestone is believed to have been raised by Inga in memory of her husband Eric (Eiríkr) and her father Godric (Guðríkr).
