Description
This article discusses the use of rune stones in Scandinavia during the Viking Age. The stones were used for various purposes, such as recording land ownership, memorializing deceased loved ones, and commemorating important events. The study also reveals interesting information about the conversion of Scandinavia to Christianity, the growth of royal power, and inheritance customs during the Viking Age.

This is the first historical study of the whole body of late Viking runic inscription stones in Scandinavia. The 2300 inscriptions yield unexpected information on a wide range of topics, including the conversion of Scandinavia to Christianity, the growth of royal power and, most important of all, the inheritance customs of the period.
