Sigtrygg Runestones
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The two Sigtrygg Runestones (DR 2 and DR 4) were runestones raised after the Danish king Sigtrygg Gnupasson by his mother Ásfriðr.
They constitute together with the account of Adam of Bremen evidence for the House of Olaf on the Danish throne.
