Skåäng Runestone, Norse runestone in Trosa Municipality, Sweden
The Skåäng Runestone displays two distinct runic inscriptions carved into its surface, featuring both Proto-Norse text in elder futhark and Old Norse in younger futhark script.
The stone received its second inscription during the Viking Age, when Skammhals and Ólôf added text to commemorate their father Sveinn using the younger futhark alphabet.
The inscription includes the name Leugaz, meaning oath taker, which indicates specific social roles and responsibilities within Norse communities during the Iron Age period.
The monument stands at its original location in Skåäng, accessible through marked paths, and features clear visibility of both the elder and younger futhark inscriptions.
Scholars did not notice the central Proto-Norse inscription until 1867, despite the stone's discovery in 1830, revealing the complexity of interpreting ancient runic texts.
