These Viking Age runes are carved into a forest cliff in Veda, Vallentuna in Sweden. Deeming from the area, it is likely that a road passed the carving back in the day. The content is quite interesting. It is not just a memorial, but also a form of document establishing ownership over a Viking Age farm. The farm was purchased with wealth gained during an expedition. The inscription reads: (Old Norse runes to the latin alphabet): þurtsain × kiarþi| |if×tiʀ irinmunt × sun sin auk| |kaubti þinsa bu × auk × aflaþi × austr i karþum (Translated to Old Norse): Þorstæinn gærði æftiʀ Ærinmund, sun sinn, ok køypti þennsa by ok aflaði austr i Garðum. (Translated to English): Thorstain made this after Ärnmund, his son, and bought this farm and acquired (riches) in the east in Gardariki. . . . . . #modernviking #vikingstyle #staystrong #viking #vikings #norse #vikinglife #vikinglifestyle #norsemen #vikingpower #norsemythology #vikingsofinstagram #vikingsofinsta #nordic #shieldwall #grimfrost

Arve of Grimfrost with Professor Henrik Williams of Uppsala University, one of the world's leading runologists, at the amazing Rök runestone. The Rökstenen runestone is one of the most famous runestones, featuring the longest known runic inscription in stone. Dating back to the 9th century, it is considered the first piece of written Swedish literature and thus it marks the beginning of the history of Swedish literature. . . . . . #modernviking #vikingstyle #staystrong #viking #vikings #norse #vikinglife #vikinglifestyle #norsemen #vikingpower #norsemythology #vikingsofinstagram #vikingsofinsta #nordic #shieldwall #grimfrost

The Battle of Clontarf raged near Dublin on this day, April 23rd, in the year 1014. The battle is mentioned in several contemporary sources where it’s described as remarkably loud and bloody. Vikings began raiding Ireland in the late 700s, establishing several settlements, among them Dublin in 838. As time passed, many Vikings became part of the Gaelic society and political scene. The powers wanting to control Ireland were many, with lots of complex politics and bloody battles as a result. Vikings and Irish fought on both sides, making it a civil war. One decisive moment was the Battle of Clontarf where Brian Boru, High King of Ireland, faced the Norse-Irish alliance led by Sigtrygg Silkbeard, King of Dublin, and Máel Mórda mac Murchada, King of Leinster. Brian Boru’s side was led by his brother, his son, and his grandson. Brian himself was in his 70s and chose to stay behind in prayer. The Vikings and Leinster forces were led by chieftains, such as Brodir, and a Viking called Plait. Sigtrygg Silkbeard also stayed behind, watching the battle from the walls of Dublin. The battle kicked off with Plait taunting Domnall mac Eimín – a Scottish ally of Brian Boru. Contemporary sources describe the scene as: “with the sword of each through the heart of the other, and the hair of each in the clenched hand of the other”. Boru’s side eventually gained the upper hand, with the Dublin-Leinster forces retreating to their ships. The incoming tide had carried many of the ships out of reach, resulting in a death trap. The Viking chieftain Brodir was not done. He located Brian Boru and killed him in his tent.Brian’s brother took immediate revenge and ended Brodir’s life in a quite gruesome way. Njal’s saga describes it as: “He cut open his belly, and led him round and round the trunk of a tree, and so would all his entrails out of him, and he did not die before they were all drawn out of him”. Sigtrygg remained King of Dublin for 22 more years, even though Dublin’s power was weakened thanks to the outcome of this battle. . . . . . #onthisday #modernviking #viking #vikings #norse #vikinglife #norsemythology #vikingsofinstagram #vikingsofinsta #nordic #grimfrost
