Färentuna Runestones

The two fragments named U 20 and U 21 were originally part of the same runestone and were discovered under the plaster of a wall during the renovation of the church at Färentuna.

[1] It is likely that other fragments of this runestone may also be part of the church but have their inscriptions facing inwards.

This runestone is believed to have been raised by Inga in memory of her husband Eric (Eiríkr) and her father Godric (Guðríkr).

The runestone has been attributed to the runemaster known as Torbjörn or Þorbjôrn Skald,[1] who signed the Hillersjö stone.
