The Aars stone is a late Viking Age runestone. Dated to the late 10th to early 11th century, it bears an inscription in memory of Toke Gormsson, known as Valtoke, who died at the Battle of Fýrisvellir. The stone reads: (Front) Asser placed this stone in memory of Valtóki, his lord. (Rear) The stone proclaims that it will stand here forever, and it will mark Valtóki's cairn. Toke was said to be Earl of Vendsyssel and even King or Earl of Scania. He was a son of Gorm the Old, but it has been said that he was an illegitimate child.
