An accessible account of Norwegian runic inscriptions from their first appearance around AD200 until their demise around 1400.

Runes, a unique functional writing system, exclusive to northern and eastern Europe, were used for some 1300 years in Scandinavia, from about AD 200 till around the end of the fourteenth century, when the runic alphabet, called fu ark after the six first characters, finally gave way to the modern writing system.
