I Ålum finder man fire runesten i forbindelse med Ålum Kirke, og tre af dem er rejst for unge mænd afgået ved døden i en ung alder:
“Tole rejste sten efter sin søn Ingeld, en god dreng”
“Vigot rejste sten efter sin søn Esge”
og
“Thyre, Vigots kone, rejste sten efter Thorbjørn, hendes fætter/nevø, som hun havde særdeles kær”
Alle fire sten er dateret til slutningen af 900-tallet. På begge de to sten, der nævner Vigot, er teksten skrevet i en spiral
[ENG] In Ålum we find four rune stones associated with Ålum Church, three of which were raised for men who died at a young age:
“Tole raised this stone in memory of Ingeld, his son, a very good boy”
“Vigot raised this stone in memory of Esge, his son”
and
“Thyre, Vigot’s wife, had this stone raised in memory of Thorbjørn, son of Sibba, her sister’s son, whom she cared for more than had he been her own son.”
All four stones have been dated to the late 900s. Both of the two stones that mention Vigot bear a text that is written in a spiral
