DANISH KING OF ENGLAND, 1016-35
As a young man, Canute accompanied his father Sven on his invasion ofEngland in 1013 and subsequently became embroiled in a long powerstruggle with Edmund II Ironside for control of England. He finally tookcontrol of the whole after Edmunddied in 1016. To consolidate his powerhe began a brutal campaign against certain English nobles who posed athreat and had Edmund's brother Eadwig murdered. After the initialbloodshed, Canute brought the English into his court and becameaneffective ruler, bringing peace and prosperity to the realm. He was astrong supporter of the Church. _________________________________________________
Written for The Viking Network by Barrie Markham Rhodes: Canute (who is known as Knud in Denmark and Knut in Norway) was the sonof Svein Forkbeard Canute's grandfather was Harald Bluetooth and his great-grandfather was King Gorm.
In England, in the year 1000, the Saxon King Aethelred plundered the Isleof Man and parts of The Danelaw, to try to crush the independently-minded Scandinavians living there. Aethelred always feared a resurgence of Viking power in England. In 1002 he married Emma, sister of Duke Richardof Normandy. This marriage was probably a 'political' one. But Aethelred's fear of the Scandinavians caused him to make a serious mistake. In the year of his marriage to Emma, perhaps feeling more securein his new links with the Norman ruling dynasty, he ordered the massacre of all 'Danish' men in England. Svein Forkbeard's sister and hisbrother-in-law, Pallig, were amongst those killed and this brought Svein to England to avenge their deaths. Svein raided south and east Englandthroughout the years 1003 and 1004, but took his army back to Denmark in1005 when they could no longer support themselves because of a great famine in England.
Svein carried out many more raids for several years after this,extracting vast amounts of silver as 'Danegeld'. In 1013 he returned withhis son Canute, for a different purpose. This time he intended to conquerEngland. Though he landed his forces in southern England, he made TheDanelaw his first objective, probably recognising that, being' Scandinavian' in character, this province would accept him without toomuch resistance. He went on to conquer the rest of the country and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle recorded that "...all the nation regarded him asfull king". Aethelred fled to Normandy.
Svein, though, died the next year and Aethelred saw a chance to regain his kingdom. He returned from Normandy and managed to expel Svein's army, now under Canute's leadership.
Canute the king In 1016 Canute returned and was victorious at the Battle of Ashingdon(Ashingdown) over Edmund 'Ironside', Aethelred's eldest son and successor. Canute and Edmund drew up the Treaty of Olney, which allotted The Danelaw and the English midlands to Canute, while Edmund retained control of southern England. This was almost a repeat of what had happened between King Alfred the Great of Wessex and the Vikings in the ninth century. Edmund died shortly after this treaty and so Canute found himself the first Viking king of all England.
In 1017 Canute married Aethelred's widow, Emma. But her two sons by herfirst marriage remained in Normandy (which was to have far-reaching consequences for England later). Emma had two children by Canute,Harthacnut and Gunhild. Canute was a Christian and very religious-minded.However, this did not stop him having an English mistress, Aelfgifu, who bore him two sons, Harald and Svein
A VIiking empire emerges Canute's brother, Harald, King of Denmark, died in 1018 and Canute wentto Denmark to secure his hold over that realm. Two years later, Canutestarted to lay claim to Norway, eventually capturing it and putting hisson Svein and his mistress Aelfgifu to govern it. Scotland also submitted to Canute and, by the late 1020s, Canute was able to claim to be 'king ofall England, and of Denmark, of the Norwegians, and part of the Swedes'.Canute was anxious to consolidate political unity in England and, as partof his drive towards this, he razed some of the burghs which had beencreated to defend southern England against The Danelaw Vikings, and viceversa. It is thought that defensive walls and ditches at Cricklade,Lydford, South Cadbury and Wareham were destroyed as part of this move.
Canute's achievements Most people think of Canute in connection with the story about himcommanding the tide to halt. But he should be remembered for more thanthis. He was perhaps the first king to successfully rule over a trulyunited realm of England, free from internal and external strife andunrest. Because he also ruled the Viking homelands, he was able toprotect England against attacks, maintaining twenty years of badly-neededpeace during which trade, Anglo-Scandinavian art and Christianity wereable to flourish. Canute had great respect for the old English laws, towhich he brought a keen sense of justice and a regard for individual rights. As part of his promotion of himself as an 'English' king, he didpenance for the wrongdoings of his Viking forefathers, building churchesand making many generous gifts to others.
The passing of Canute and the Viking empire Canute died in 1035, a relatively young man by today's measure, agedabout forty. He was buried in Winchester, the former capital of the Saxonkingdom of Wessex and a town where he was often in residence.
Canute's sons, unfortunately, were not made of the same stuff as their father so, on his death, the Anglo-Scandinavian empire he had acquired began to break up. Aelfgifu's son, Harald, became king of England butdied in 1040. Harthacnut then ruled for only two years before he, too,died, leaving behind little to remember him by other than the huge taxeshe imposed. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle said of him, "He did nothing worthyof a king as long as he ruled".
None of Canute's children produced any heirs and it was one of Emma'ssons by Aethelred, Edward (later to be known as 'the Confessor'), who returned from Normandy to ascend to the English throne in 1042.
