The Gällsta Runestones from the 11th century commemorate four generations of the same family in Viking Age Sweden. There are three runestones (U 229, U 231 and U 232) and a raised stone which is only inscribed with a cross (U 230). The runestones are located at the northern outskirts of Stockholm, just northwest of the lake Vallentunasjön, around which is found the world's greatest concentration of runestones. All the Gällsta Runestones are attributed to Öpir, the most productive of all the old runemasters.

  • The Gällsta Runestones from the 11th century commemorate four generations of the same family in Viking Age Sweden. There are three runestones (U 229, U 231 and U 232) and a raised stone which is only inscribed with a cross (U 230). The runestones are located at the northern outskirts of Stockholm, just northwest of the lake Vallentunasjön, around which is found the world's greatest concentration of runestones. All the Gällsta Runestones are attributed to Öpir, the most productive of all the old runemasters. The oldest two generations, Þorbjörn and his son Oddi, are only mentioned on U 229. The runestone informs that Oddi had two sons Halfdan and Tobbi or Tubbi. U 231 was raised in memory of Halfdan by his four children Heðinvé, Eysteinn, Ulfr and Ólafr, while U 232 was raised in memory of Tobbi/Tubbi by his three sons Tosti, Sigfuss and Sigmarr. Below follows a presentation of the Gällsta Runestones based on information collected from the Rundata project. The transcriptions from runic inscriptions into standardized Old Norse are in the Swedish and Danish dialect to facilitate comparison with the inscriptions, while the English translation provided by Rundata give the names in standard dialect (the Icelandic and Norwegian dialect).

  • Le Pietre runiche di Gällsta, risalenti all'XI secolo, commemorano quattro generazioni della stessa famiglia vissuta nell'era vichinga in Svezia. Il gruppo di pietre erette comprende tre pietre runiche (U 229, U 231 e U 232) e un menhir (U 230) che non riporta nessuna iscrizione, ma solo l'incisione di una croce. Il sito si trova a nord di Stoccolma e a nord-est del lago , attorno al quale si riscontra la più alta concentrazione mondiale di pietre runiche. Tutte le pietre incise di Gällsta sono attribuite a Öpir, il più produttivo maestro di rune dell'antichità. Le due generazioni più vecchie, Þorbjörn e suo figlio Oddi, sono menzionati solo su U 229. Il testo inciso ci informa che Oddi ebbe due figli, Halfdan e Tobbi o Tubbi. U 331 su eretta in memoria di Halfdan dai suoi quattro figli: Heðinvé, Eysteinn, Ulfr e Ólafr, mentre U 232 fu eretta in memoria di Tobbi/Tubbi dai suoi tre figli: Tosti, Sigfuss e Sigmarr. (it)
