Summary

Description
English: Map of Uppland, a historical province Sweden, divided into "folklands" and the smaller "härads", circa 1250.
Legend:
  Attundaland ("the land of the eight hundreds"), today named Attunda
  Fjädrundaland [sic] ("the land of the four hundreds"), today named Fjärdhundra, with a more modern spelling
  Roden (from Old East Norse roðer, i.e. "rowing"), today roughly equivalent to Roslagen
  Tiundaland ("the land of the ten hundreds"), today named Tiunda
Note: A "hundred" equals 100 men. A Viking leidang ship had twelve pairs of oars, each pair handled by eight men. A single "hundred" was therefore supposed to line up with 8 × 12 = 96 men, to which were added four helmsmen, a total of 100 men.

Svenska: Karta över Uppland, uppdelat i folkland och härader i mitten av 1200-talet.
Teckenförklaring:
  Attundaland ("de åtta hundarenas land"), idag kort och gott kallat Attunda
  Fjädrundaland [sic] ("de fyra hundarenas land"), idag kallat Fjärdhundra, med en modern stavning
  Roden (av runsvenska roðer, "rodd"), idag ungefär motsvarande Roslagen
  Tiundaland ("de tio hundarenas land"), idag kallat Tiunda
Not: Ett "hundare" motsvarar 100 män. Ett vikingatida ledungskepp hade tolv par åror, där varje årpar hanterades av åtta män. Ett enskilt "hundare" var därför tänkt att ställa upp med 8 × 12 = 96 män, vartill kom fyra styrmän, sammanlagt 100 man.
