Quote, Article text: founding statement
Lund grundades under andra hälften av 900-talet, sannolikt flyttad på kungligt initiativ från ett tidigare läge i Uppåkra fyra kilometer söderut, där arkeologiska utgrävningar har påvisat en bosättning från järnåldern som blivit nedbränd i slutet av 900-talet.
