Drottkvät means ‘poem to a chieftain’ and the poem tells of a ‘king of the sea strong in battle’ named Sibbe, who has died. He is likened to Odin - the foremost AEsir god. The rune stone dates back to around AD1000, and was raised at a time of transition between the AEsir faith and Christianity. On the back of the stone you can read INONIN…RH, a corrupted form of IN NOMINE IHESU- In Jesus’ name.
