| Part One:
1. There are approximately 3000 relics and monuments in existence today.
2. ‘Ek erilaz’ means “I, the erilaz”, and it can be found on the lindholm amulet, a bone piece found in Skane.
3. Another word is the Eihwaz (Eoh) rune.
4. It didn’t affect the runic monuments too much, the early Christians were more tolerant of Pagan beliefs in other Northern parts. The runes survived in English culture more than anywhere else.
5. King Harald Bluetooth to his parents in 895AD.
6. The inscription is: "King Haraldr ordered this monument to be made in memory of his father Gormr and his mother Thorvi. This was Harladr who won all Denmark for himself and for Norway, and who made the Danes Christian."
7. The Cunebald’s Cross was discovered in Lancaster, England. It was found in 1807.
8. The runic calendar is Norweigan or maybe English in origin. The inscription is a mixture of Old Norse and Northumbrian runes.
9. A continuous stave is a continuous flow of runes, in several directions. The rune carvers were indiscriminate as to where they placed the runes.
10. The Franks Casket is made from whalebone.
11. The oldest surviving Danish rune stone is The Istaby Stone at Blekinge.
12. The Hilddiguth’s stone was discovered in Hartlepool, in Durham, England.
13. The inscription is: “Eomar set this memorial after Hroetbert his uncle. Pray-ye for his soul."
Part Two:
