Jarlabankestenarna
The Jarlabankestenarna are rune stones that the Swedish Viking chief Jarlabanke erected for his relatives and himself in the area around Täby in Uppland , north of Stockholm , in the 11th century. The custom of setting a memorial with a rune stone was widespread in Sweden at the end of the Viking Age (800-1050 AD). Other stones that are included in the group come from his relatives. The rune stone from Tillitse is the only "self- erecting stone " in Denmark .
The stones erected for Jarlabanke begin with the formula: “Jarlabanke lät resa dessa stenar efter sig” - “Jarlabanke had this stone set in memory”. The stones of the Jarlabanke show a mirrored ribbon of snakes with and without an Irish belt and a central cross. Two of the stones (U 164 and U 165) are still in situ at the end of Jarlabankes Bro , a path adorned with rune stones across a wetland near Täby , which he claims to have built himself. These include the rune stones U 127, U 149, U 164, U 165, U 212 and U 261.
Stones that he had set for his relatives or relatives ( Estrid and Östen, Häming etc.) himself (for him U 142 at Fällbro ) are: U 101, U 135, U 136, U 142, U 143, U 147 , U 148, U 150 and U 310.
There are fragments, such as the stone U 140 (Täby 42: 3), which belongs to the Greece rune stones .
