I've made another update of my runestone website. It is now backed by a data file making it a lot easier to add new pages.

I also added a few new pages, and updated some pages with new photos and texts.

Among the new and changed pages are: Sö 338, GR 1, N A222, DR 271, U 1125, U 785, U 778, Sö 96.

Unfortunately I also had to scale down photos as bots are wasting my resources. I'm now above the free tier for the outgoing data transfer, so I might have to start paying or they'll shut down the site.

Varangian Biker

I'm the Varangian Biker. I’ve ridden my motorcycle to visit viking runestones about Ingvar the Far-Travelled in Sweden.

Varangian Biker
The Viking Age kicked off in 793 with Lindisfarne, and for 250 years, Norwegians, Danes & Swedes redefined Europe. Killer ships, messy kingdoms, no mercy. From raids to settlements to conversions, and then? Game over by 1066.

Raiders, Traders, and Trailblazers: the Saga of the Viking Age

The Viking era lasted for 250 years. What brought it to an end in approx the years 1030–1066?

Stamford Bridge ends one invasion and helps set the stage for the next. Victory came at a cost England couldn't afford.

I just finished writing about 1300 words about the viking age runestone U 785 at Tillinge church west of Enköping. It is made of gray granite and is 1.7 meters tall and 0.8-1 meter wide. The inscription is inside a serpent with a head seen from the side. There is no cross on the stone, even though the inscription has a Christian prayer.

It has been raised after a man called Gudmund who died in Serkland. Possibly during the viking expedition by Ingvar the Far-Travelled or another expedition to the same area near the Caspian Sea. It is also possible that he worked as a varangian guard in the Byzantine empire.

The transliteration of the inscription is:
uifas-- ... : risa : s(t)in : þ(t)ino : ub : at : k-þmunt : bruþur : sin : han : uarþ : tuþr : a : srklant- kuþ halbi : ant : ans

Translated into English:
Vifast had the stone raised up after Gudmund, his brother. He died in Serkland. God help his soul.
