About this person
Frögärd Ulvsdotter i Ösby was a Swedish Norse woman. She was, according to a common misconception, believed to be a female Viking Age runemaster. This notion is based on Erik Brate's erroneous interpretation of runestone U 203. By 1943, Elias Wessén convincingly demonstrated that the sequence in question cannot be read as a carver's signature. Also, the rune that transliterates to uisby should be read Väsby rather than Ösby.
