The Glavendrup stone, located in Otterup, Denmark, is a significant runestone dating back to the early 10th century. It is part of a larger ceremonial site that includes a ship setting, where stones are arranged in the shape of a ship. The stone bears one of the longest runic inscriptions in Denmark, commemorating a chieftain named Alle, and was erected by his wife, son, and family. The inscription is notable for its mention of both pagan and Christian elements, reflecting the transitional period in Nordic history from paganism to Christianity.
