I would like to comment, on a few matters regarding Assurstenen (Assur's stone, or the Assur stone) and Bro, which happens to be where i grew up.
First of all, the name of the muncipality is Upplands-Bro, not Brö, no dots above the o. As the name suggests it is located in the province Uppland, and not in Södermanland.
The name Bro translates to "bridge" in english. The very bridge that provided the name of the place is mentioned on the stone.
This is the most famous of the known 37 runic inscriptions in Upplands Bro muncipality.
Written rune to letter, the inscription reads:
"kinluk × hulmkis × tutiR × systiR × sukruþaR × auk × þaiRa × kaus × aun × lit × keara × bru × þesi × auk × raisa × stain × þina × eftiR × asur × bunta * sin × sun × hakunaR × iarls × saR × uaR × uikika × uaurþr × miþ × kaeti × kuþ × ialbi × ans × nu × aut × uk × salu"
Translitterated and more readable:
"Ginnlaug, Holmgeirs dóttir, systir Sigrøðar ok þeira Gauts, hon lét gera brú þessa ok reisa stein þenna eptir Ôzur, bónda sinn, son Hákonar jarls. Sá var víkinga vôrðr með Geiti(?). Guð hjalpi hans nú ônd ok sálu."
Translated to modern swedish:
"Ginnlög, Holmgers dotter, syster till Sygröd och till Göt, hon lät göra denna bro och resa denna sten efter Assur, sin man, son till Håkon jarl. Han var landvärnare mot vikingar med Geter. Gud hjälpe nu hans ande och själ."
and in english:
"Ginnlaug, Holmgeirr's daughter, Sigrøðr and Gautr's sister, she had this bridge made and this stone raised in memory of Ôzurr, her husbandman, earl Hákon's son. He was the viking watch with Geitir(?). May God now help his spirit and soul."
The inscription is designated U 617.
One interesting thing about this stone is that it actually mentions vikings. Assur is "the viking watch", part of some sort of defence force against vikings.
