Gunderup Runestone 1, Norse runestone at Gunderup Church, Denmark
The Gunderup Runestone 1, made of granite, stands 2.46 meters tall and features two segments of runic text carved in straight bands.
Created between 900 and 960, this runestone commemorates Tóki's stepfather Api and mother Tófa, documenting inheritance practices in Viking-age Denmark.
The inscription refers to Api as a thegn, a title found on nearly fifty runestones across Denmark and Sweden, indicating social status.
Located in the porch of Gunderup Church, approximately 20 kilometers south of Aalborg, the runestone remains accessible for public viewing.
This monument represents one of only two runestones in Denmark that honor both parents, providing evidence of inheritance laws between stepparents and children.
