	Canute
		Mercia and Northumbria were Canute's portion, and a tax known as the "danegeld" was levied on both armies to defray the expenses of the Danish fleet.

	Canute the Great - Cunnan
		Canute, aware that he needed to cement his succession in his father's principal kingdom, Denmark, returned there (though not before pointing out his displeasure to the English by savagely mutilating the hostages they had given his father for their good behaviour).
		Canute landed in England in summer of 1015, and found the kingdom in disarray, not least because of the sinister Eadric Streona who had murdered two noblemen, and encouraged King Ethelred to seize their property and the widow of one.
		Canute also took time to marry Emma, daughter of the duke of Normandy and widow of Ethelred, thereby both strengthening ties between Engand and the Norman duchy, but also reassuring the Christian population, since she was a very devout woman.

	History of the Monarchy > The Anglo-Saxon kings > Canute
		Son of Sweyn, Canute became undisputed King of England in 1016, and his rivals (Ethelred's surviving sons and Edmund's son) fled abroad.
		Ruthless but capable, Canute consolidated his position by marrying Ethelred's widow Emma (Canute's first English partner - the Church did not recognise her as his wife - was set aside, later appointed regent of Norway).
		Given that there was no political or governmental unity within his empire, it failed to survive owing to discord between his sons by two different queens - Harold Harefoot (reigned 1035-40) and Harthacnut (reigned 1040-42) - and the factions led by the semi-independent Earls of Northumbria, Mercia and Wessex.

		Consequently, I'm not sure about there being two Canutes, but the relevant one would be Canute II (also spelled "Knut" and "Knud"), son of Sweyn Forkbeard and grandson of Harold Bluetooth, both kings of Denmark, which is definitely the land of cool names.
		His first reign in England was cut short by the restoration to the monarchy of the marvelously-named Ethelred the Unready, but Canute's second reign (1017-1035) is generally seen as progressive and wise, notwithstanding his bigamous marriage and murder of his own brother.
		When his courtiers declared that Canute was so powerful that the seas themselves would obey his commands, Canute had himself seated at the water's edge as the tide came in.
