[dk] Runestenen i Rimsø [eng] The runestones in Rimsø - Runestones Worldwide on Waymarking.com

[dk] Rimsø Kirke på Norddjursland er ikke kun et besøg værd på grund af den meget smukke kvaderstenskirke og Danmarks ældste præstegård lige nord for kirken. Ved sydfoden af en stor gravhøj på kirkegården står også en meget flot og speciel runesten fra vikingetiden.
Hvor Rimsø-runestenen oprindeligt har stået vides ikke, men det kan ikke afvises at den har sammenhæng med gravhøjen, hvor den nu står. De fleste af de godt 200 runesten som er bevaret til i dag, står også ved eller i kirker, men de er flyttet hertil i løbet af vikingetiden, efterhånden som den kristne tro vandt indpas.
Rimsø-runestenen omtales første gang i 1832. Frem til 1875 var den muret ind i kirkens sydside nær soklen, og i 1889 fik den sin nuværende placering ved gravhøjen.
Runestenen er en blålig granit, og Rimsø-runestenen er den eneste danske runesten med såkaldt ”lønskrift”, hvor enkelte ord skal læses bagfra. Den udmærker sig også ved, at runeteksten modsat de fleste andre runesten starter på stenenes smalside. Det er kun lykkedes, at oversætte en del af runeteksten, som på nudansk lyder:

” Thore, Enrådes broder, rejste denne sten efter sin moder og......... som værst for sønnen”

Teksten må forstås sådan, at moderens død var den værste ulykke, som overgik sønnen. Det er typisk for vikingetidens runesten, at den som satte stenen (Thore) også nævner sig selv på stenen, samt at der er en direkte henvisning til hans slægtsbånd (Enrådes bror) - og indtil gravhøjen evt. engang måtte blive undersøgt, kan det i al fald ikke udelukkes, at den rummer graven med Thore´s moder.

[eng] Rimsø Church on Norddjursland is not only worth a visit because of the beautiful ashlar church and Denmark's oldest rectory just north of the church.
At the south of a large grave mound in the cemetery is also a very nice and special rune stones from the Viking Age.
How Rimsø-rune stone originally stood is not known, but it can not be denied that it is linked to the mound, where it now stands.
Most of the more than 200 Danish rune stone which is preserved to this day, is also at or in churches, but they had moved there during the Viking Age, as the Christian faith became popular.
Rimsø-rune stone was first mentioned in 1832. Up to 1875, the brick into the church's south side near the base, and in 1889 received the its present location at the mound.
Rune stone is a bluish granite, and Rimsø-rune stone is the only Danish rune stone with scripture known as "lønskrift" where a few word to be read from behind. It is distinguished by the runic text unlike most other runestones starts on stones narrow side. It is only managed to translate some of runic text, as in modern Danish reads:

"Thore, Enrådes brother, raised this stone after his mother and ......... as the worst for her son "

The text must be understood that the mother's death was the worst accident that surpassed his son. It is typical of Viking rune stones that which sat stone (Thore) also mentions himself on the stone, and that there is a direct reference to his family ties (Enrådes brother) - and until burial mound possibly. even had to be studied, in any case it is possible that it contains the grave with Thore's mother.
