Histoy

In the 17th century, Ingeborg's gravestone was in the cemetery but was taken up and moved into the church where it was placed on the floor in front of the choir. In 1880-81, it was taken up and placed on the southern wall of the church and in 1883 it seems to have left the church for safer storage at the SHM (State Historical Museum).

In 1916 it appears to have been in the museum, but I can't find any information about when and how it came back to the church.

Who was Ingeborg?
Johan Peringskiöld (ca. 1690) writes that: "this Ingeborg is probably the wife of Joar Jarl". He means the Jarl Jon of Askanas mentioned in the Erikskrönikan (v. 490 f.) and his brave and resourceful wife.
