The inscription from the second half of the 10th century on the big runic stone inside
the church says:
TOVE,MISTIVES DATTER,
HARALD DEN GODES,
GORMS SØNS KONE,
LOD GØRE DETTE MINDE
EFTER SIN MODER.

Tove, Mistives daughter,
Harald the Goods,
Gorms sons wife,
let do this memory
after her mother.

Gorm and Harald must be Gorm the Old(died ab. 940) and Harald Bluetooth, who reigned
Denmark from ab. 940 to 985. Tove was the daughter of the Obotritterfürst Mistive/Mistivoj.
