King Canute.
Knut (Canute).
The English Nobles who refused to accept Canute as King. Also, his Courtiers who flattered him into believing that he could stop the incoming tide.
Canute's most famous foe was the sea itself. According to legend, King Canute (Cnut the Great) tried to command the tide to stop as a demonstration of his power, but when the sea did not obey, he showed humility and demonstrated that even a king's authority has limits.
