Uppland Runic Inscription 1144
Uppland Runic Inscription 1144 or U 1144 is the Rundata catalog designation of a Viking Age memorial runestone in a churchyard that is located five kilometers southwest of Tierp, Uppsala County, Sweden, which was in the historic province of Uppland. Description The runic inscription consists of runic text within bands that are around an unusual image of a Christian cross surrounded by stylized serpents and two lambs. It has been suggested that the runestone's iconography of an adoring lamb on each side of the cross may have been based on similar images seen during pilgrimages to Rome or the Holy Land. The stone is composed of granite and is 1.8 meters in height with the upper right portion missing. The inscription is classified as being carved in runestone style Pr3, which is also known as Urnes style.

Uppland Runic Inscription 1145
Uppland Runic Inscription 1145, or U 1145 in the Rundata catalog, is a Viking Age memorial runestone that is located near the town of Tierp in Uppland, Sweden. Description U 1145, which consists of a serpent that circles a cross, is classified as being carved in either runestone style Pr2 or Pr3. The text states that Ríkr and Gunnthrúðr raised the stone in memory of Fasti. The text ends in a prayer which uses the Norse word ''salu'' for soul, which was borrowed from English and was first used in another inscription during the tenth century. The runes in the prayer follow the rule that double letters are represented with only a single rune, even if one of the two letters are at the end of one word and the second is at the beginning of the next word. In U 1145 this rule applies to four consecutive words in the prayer, which are written as honsalukuþs on the stone.

Gävle
Gävle () is a city in Sweden, the seat of Gävle Municipality and the capital of Gävleborg County. It had 77,586 inhabitants in 2020, which makes it the 13th most populated city in Sweden. It is the oldest city in the historical Norrland (Sweden's Northern Lands), having received its charter in 1446 from Christopher of Bavaria. However, Gävle is far nearer to the greater Stockholm region than it is to most other major settlements in Norrland and has a much milder climate than associated with said region. In recent years, the city has received much international attention due to its large Yule Goat figure made of straw - the Gävle Goat.

The goat has now become a symbol for the city and is being used for various marketing purposes. History It is believed that the name ''Gävle'' derives from the word ''gavel'', meaning river banks in Old Swedish and referring to ...
