I want to know if I get 2 major vigor runes 1 for my boots and 1 for leggings will I get more hp compared to 1 only on my boots?and if getting 2 major vigor gets more hp does this apply to other runes? Like absorbtion runes if i put 1 on my boots and 1 for leggins i will get more reduce damage then just 1 only on my boots? Also if i get 2 runes of major swordmanship 1 for my boots and 1 for leggings i will get +4 added to swordmanships in attributes?

Runes of the same type, except for absorbtion runes which are a different issue, do not stack. In the case you suggested, only 1 of the major vigor runes will "work" so to speak. Because both are major, you will get 41 extra health as opposed to no vigor rune. If you added a minor rune, you would get nothing more, and if you added a superior, you would get 9 more Health (50 more than with no rune).
As for the other types of runes, except for absorbtion, the bonus is one-time for each attribute, but the health penalty is not. So, if you had a superior Fire magic rune and a major Fire magic rune, you would get +3 Fire magic from the super rune but -125 Health from both runes. Using 5 Superior runes, along with a certain focus item, is how 55 monk builds get down to 55 max Health.
Some people will argue with me on this, but Absorbtion runes work differently than other runes. Having 2 Absorbtion runes WILL give the benefit of both, but each one will only effect attacks that hit the part of the body the rune is on. So, if you have one Absorbtion rune on your chest, you'll have about a 37.5% chance of having any given attack being reduced in damage. If you have it on your helmet, gauntlets, or boots, that number is only about 12.5%. Some people argue that an Absorbtion rune affects all 5 of the possible areas, but this is not the case. The only way to have complete protection from the runes is to have one on all 5 pieces of your armor.

What you mean is the maximum hp you can get is 50 geting 2 superior vigor runes wont give you 100hp and maximum about of attributs you can get is +3 geting 2 superior strength wont give you +6 to attributes unless with you use a focus item. Only the absorption stacks up more you put on all pieces of armor more protection you get.

No. Runes do not stack. You only get the benifit from the better one. Your axe mastery rating would go up by three.

What about knights and ascalon armor does the reduce damage stack up when you get all the pieces of the armor? Also can you put runes on shields? If you can do they stack up?

Think about the unbalance in the game if runes would stack. Superior runes could possibly also be...shut out of people's minds. Think about it. 5 pieces of armor. 5 pieces of minor runes of the same kind. ie. Minor sword. that's a +5 into attribute points without any down sides. etc.
