[gothic-l] The Eruli and the Stentoften Rune Inscription

[Tore Gannholm]

Bertil,
I can buy that.
What matters most to me is that we place various occasions in the correct
century.
I want to compare apples with apples not with anything else.

I got furious when the tourist guides in Visby talked about the fantastic
buildings, build by the German Hanse, dated to the 13th century.
The German Hanse was only founded in 1358. Almost all anchient buildings in
Visby are built before the German Hanse. As far as I understand most of the
tourist  guides know better now.
