	harthacanute:
		Harthacanute (sometimes Hardicanute, Hardecanute; Danish Hardeknud, Canute the Hardy) (1018/1019–June 8, 1042) was a King of Denmark (1035–1042) and England (1035–1037, 1040–1042).
		Harthacanute was a harsh and very unpopular ruler: to pay for his fleet, he severely increased the rate of taxation, and perhaps the most notable event of his reign in England was a revolt at Worcester in 1041 against these high taxes.
		Harthacanute invited his half-brother Edward the Confessor (his mother Emma's son by Ethelred the Unready) back from exile in Normandy to become his co-ruler and heir; the ASC places this event in 1041.

		In England his illegitimate half brother, Harold Harefoot, first acted as regent, then as king (1037–40), while Harthacanute in Denmark was reaching a settlement with Magnus I of Norway.

		Although Harthacanute was an oafish brute, he dealt cannily with the deadly dynastic web of intrigue and ambition he was entangled in, deftly neutralising one of his more immediate rivals by making him his heir.

		Harthacanute was a thoroughly bad lot, even by the exacting standards of the day.
