U 11, Hovgården, Adelsö

You read the runes! Right let cut them Tolir, bailiff in Roden, to the king. Tolir and Gylla let cut (these runes), this pair after themself as a memorial... Håkon bade cut.
The inscription is placed on a stone block, until 1994 thought to be stationary. The surface has been carefully smoothed. The inscription was partially damaged already in the 1700 century. It is not, as is normal, made as a memorial for a dead relative, but to fulfil a wish of a living king. Who Håkon was is unsure, perhaps the king Håkon the red, named by Adam of Bremen. In that case the stone can be dated to ca 1080 AD.
