Abstract: The stability for all generic equilibria of the Lie-Poisson dynamics of the $mathfrakso(4)$ rigid body dynamics is completely determined. It is shown that for the generalized rigid body certain Cartan subalgebras (called of coordinate type) of $mathfrakso(n)$ are equilibrium points for the rigid body dynamics. In the case of $mathfrakso(4)$ there are three coordinate type Cartan subalgebras whose intersection with a regular adjoint orbit give three Weyl group orbits of equilibria. These coordinate type Cartan subalgebras are the analogues of the three axes of equilibria for the classical rigid body in $mathfrakso(3)$. In addition to these coordinate type Cartan equilibria there are others that come in curves.
