King Frederick of Sweden received a lion as a gift and was so proud of him, that in 1731, when he died, the king wanted him preserved, but there was no taxidermist available, so he began to decay. They finally found one who likely had never seen a lion before, so this is what the king received back. To this day, King Frederik's Lion can be seen at Gripsholm Castle, a former royal residence that is now a museum in Mariefred, Södermanland, Sweden.

The taxidermist based his work on a Lion of Medieval Art.

Runestone

Viking, 9th or 10th century

Red sandstone runestone. Only fragments remain; the original length is estimated to be at least 1.5 metres. The inscription runs in a band along three of the sides. There is no other decoration. It begins in the bottom row with: “…self this stone for me. And in memory of Gerulv, my brother I raised a cairn." It has not been possible to make out the inscription on the short side, but on the upper side it runs “…And the three ancestral mothers each had six children, the best”. The reference to the ancestral mothers or matriarchs is evidence of how important kinship was, and how this applied equally to the female lineage as to the male line. The fragment was probably a part of a side slab of a coffin in Ärja Church in Södermanland. From there, in a broken form, it was moved to nearby Kärnbo Church where it functioned as a step stone, until it was later moved again to Mariefred. The appearance of the runestone dates the monument to the 9th or 10th century.

Gripsholm Castle (Swedish: Gripsholms slott) is a castle in Mariefred, Södermanland, Sweden. It is located by lake Mälaren in south central Sweden, in the municipality of Strängnäs, about 60 km west of Stockholm. Since Gustav I Vasa, Gripsholm has belonged to the Swedish royal family and was used as one of their residences until the 18th century. It is now a museum, but is still considered to be a palace at the disposal of the King and as such it is part of the Crown palaces in Sweden.
