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. Of course even a king could not control
the elements and his feet became wet from the sea waters as they
rose.
Canute died in 1035AD and was succeeded as King of England by
his son Harold I (Harold Harefoot).
