Danegeld. *Canute/Cnut Canute the Great, also known as Cnut was a Viking king of England and Denmark, Norway, and parts of Sweden. He was a son of a Danish king and became famous with his invasion of England. The kingdom fell quickly and Canute was held to be king . He successed as a statesman, politically and militarily. Canute held a considerable overlordship across other areas of the British Isles too. He divided his new kingdom into four parts and married the kings widow Emma in order to help legitimize his reign.

A new round of Danish invasion came at the beginning of the 11th cent. King Etherlred II was forced to flee the country at Christmas, 1013, leaving king Sweyn I of Denmark in possession. Sweyn died the following February, and Ethelred was restored. Ethelred's son Edmund II, Ironside, reigned only 7 months. The Danish King Canute II (Cnut), Sweyn's son, who was also king of Norway & Denmark, became King of England. He was chosen by the Witan. He married Ethelred's widow, Emma of Normandy. He divided England into 4 earldoms Wessex, Mercia, Northumbria & East Anglia and appointed an earl to rule over each of them. Canute continued to collect Danegeld tax & used the money for his army & fleet. He ruled according to the Anglo-Saxon laws. He became a Christian. Before he died, he left his throne of England to his son Hardicanute, but as he wasn't in England at the time of his father's deaths, the general feeling turned in favour of his brother, Harold Harefoot.
