Uppland Runic Inscription 11, Norse runestone in Hovgården, Sweden
The Hovgården Runestone stands outdoors, displaying carved inscriptions in Old Norse language using the Younger Futhark alphabet system.
Dating from approximately 1070, this stone was commissioned by Tolir, a local administrator of Roden, under the authority of King Håkan.
The inscription preserves ancient Nordic writing traditions and demonstrates the memorial practices of medieval Scandinavian societies through permanent stone carvings.
Located in Ekerö Municipality, the runestone remains accessible throughout the year as part of Sweden's protected archaeological heritage sites.
The stone contains direct references to royal administration, mentioning both King Håkan and a local official named Tolir in its runic text.
