Who was king canute and what was he famous for?
King Canute (Danish: Knud) became King of Denmark, Norway and England. In 1016AD he conquered most of England after successfully forcing King Æthelræd II (aka. Ethelred the Unready) in to exile in Normandy. After Æthelræd's brother and successor King Edmund Ironside died, Canute ruled all of England. There is a myth that Canute is famous for where one day he decided to demonstrate to sycophantic courtiers the limits of his powers by placing his throne on the seashore and ordering the advacing tide to retreat.

Canute died in 1035AD and was succeeded as King of England by his son Harold I (Harold Harefoot).
