Uppland Rune Inscriptions 101, 143 and 147
The runestones known as U 101 is located in Sollentuna, and U 143 and U 147 are located in Täby; all three are in Uppland, Sweden. They are all in the style Pr4 and thus dated to the period 1060-1100 during which they were carved in connection with the construction of a road from Hagby to Ed at Edsviken. They belong to a group of c. 20 runestones called the Jarlabanke Runestones that are connected to the local chieftain Jarlabanke and his clan. Together with the Broby bro Runestones and the Hargs bro runic inscriptions these particular runestones, however, centre on the female matriarch of the clan called Estrid, who was the grandmother of Jarlabanke.
The runestone U 101 is deep in the forest at Södersätra near Stockholm. The stone has not been coloured in modern times.

Jarlabanke probably lived on the estate which today is called Såsta. As of 2007[update], it is a conference centre.
