There's also a Romanian (Blach) runestone commemorating a Viking expedition that crossed through what would later become Moldavia. As it is with all that relates to Romania, it wasn't a positive experience, as their expedition ended there. They laid a curse on us. :S

There's also a Romanian (Blach) runestone commemorating a Viking expedition that crossed through what would later become Moldavia. As it is with all that relates to Romania, it wasn't a positive experience, as their expedition ended there. They laid a curse on us. :S Yes. The runestone is in the Sjonhem parish in Gotland, Sweden. And here it is. It's in the memory of a guy named Rodfos - a merchant who was killed by Vlachs while passing through the Land of Vlachs. Historians place this event in southern Romania, not eastern. Here is the whole text in old Norse. Maybe you can understand something, Anittas, if you speak Swedish: " rąþuisl:auk:rąþalf:þau:litu:raisa:staina:æftir:sy[ni:sina:]þria: þina:eftir:rąþfos:han:siku:blakumen:i:utfaru kuþ:hiælbin:sial:rąþfoaR:kuþ:suiki:þa:aR:han:suiu " The last line is the curse you were talking about: " May God help Rodfos’ soul, and may God swike those who swoke him"

Here is the whole translation of the Sjonhem rune stone.
"Rodvisl and Rodälv had these stones raised in memory of their three sons. This stone in memory of Rodfos. He was betrayed by the Wallachians on an expedition. May God help Rodfos’ soul, and may God swike those who swoke him"

"Historians place this event in southern Romania, not eastern." p100.ezboard.com/fbalkansfrm150.showMessageRange?topicID=79.topic&start=21&stop=40Historians believe it must've been a river leading to the Black Sea. Neither Moldavia, nor Wallachia, were founded at the time. If it was in Dobrogea, then it doesn't count (it couldn't have been there). If it was in Buceag, it was in what was to be a part of Wallachia then shortly after, Moldavia. Even if Buceag was Wallachian at first, it probably was Moldavians that dwelled there.
