Vinje
Sigurðr Jarl's son carved these runes on the Saturday after Bótulfr's-mass when he fled here and did not want to undergo reconciliation with Sverrir, the slayer of his father and brothers.
Vinje stave church does not exist any more, but here's a plank with a runic inscription on it, that was spared when the church was demolished in 1796.
Above is the last part of the inscription.
... Hallvarðr the Greenlander carved these runes. Never is he fortunate, the brute who betrays: (he can) expect to get sorrow on the hair-part's turf (ie on his head); (he will) pay for this (broken) oath. The breeze-blown skis ( = ships) of Baldr's hawks ( = the warriors) (ie the sea-warriors) are not all felled through the baleful deeds of ogresses, and (they) hold the memory of battle.
Here's the other inscription from Vinje church....
These photos were taken at the Historical Museum in Oslo, where the objects are temporarily at display.
