Runes and travel! A very apt discovery at the Oslo historical museum ahead of my paper on long-distance travel this afternoon. The runes on this stone (11th or 12th cent) were probably carved by a man ‘son of Svein’ to boast about his journeys

Excited and very grateful to be starting as a Visiting Fellow at
