	Harthacnut of Denmark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the 890s Denmark was conquered by Swedes and king Helge was deposed by Olaf who founded the House of Olaf in Denmark.
		Probably born in the 880s, he was the son of an otherwise unknown "Sweyn", and is often described as being the grandson (or adopted grandson) of semi-mythic viking chieftain Sigurd Snake-Eye, one of the sons of the legendary Ragnar Lodbrok.
		Adam says that Harthacnut (Danish: Hardeknud) came from "Northmannia", the "land of the Northmen", by which he may mean either Norway or Normandy, which had recently been colonized by Danish vikings.

	Gorm the Old - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The son of Danish king Harthacnut, Gorm is one of the most misinterpreted figures in Danish history.
		Often maligned as a cruel old dotard and a staunch heathen, Gorm was born in the late 800s, and died in 958 according to dendrochronological studies of the wood in his burial chamber.
		as far as Denmark's relationship with the Christian neighbors to the south was concerned, but earlier historians often confused him with his father who supposedly withstood the coming of Christianity for as long as he lived.

		Harthacnut, son of King Cnut and his wife Emma of Normandy, was proclaimed king of Denmark in 1028, during his father's successful campaign against Olaf of Norway.
		Cnut's death came at an inopportune time for Harthacnut because Denmark was threatened by the rise to power in Norway of Magnus, son of Olaf, and he was unable to leave the country to pursue his claim to the English throne.
		But, with Harthacnut in Denmark, Harold was able to scupper the compromise by marching on Winchester, seizing the treasury and forcing Emma into exile.

		The crown was disputed between his two sons, the half-brothers Harold and Harthacnut; it was doubtful whether the birth of the elder prince was legitimate, and Queen Emma strove to get her own son Harthacnut preferred to him.
		In Denmark the younger claimant was acknowledged by the whole people, but in England the Mercian and Northumbrian earls chose Harold as king, and Wessex only fell to Harthacnut.
		On Harthacnuts death he was succeeded not by any Danish prince but by his half-brother Edward, the elder son of ~thelred and Emma, whom he had entertained at his court, and Edward had apparently designated as his heir, for he had no Cnfessor.

	Monarchy - Harold I Harefoot, Harthacnut
		When King Cnut died in 1035, his successor to the English throne was supposed to be Harthacnut, his son by his second wife Emma.
		However, because Denmark – of which Harthacnut was also monarch – was threatened with invasion from Norway, he was unable to travel to his coronation and instead sent as regents Emma and his half-brother Harold Harefoot (so called because of his fleetness of foot), son of Cnut and his first wife Elgifu.
		Harthacnut was universally disliked by his new subjects – according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, he 'never did anything worthy of a king while he reigned'.

		Prince Edward, Alfred's older brother, sought protection at Winchester, and when Harthacnut died suddenly, after reigning for only one year, Edward, son of Ethelred, was acclaimed as king.
		Although the two hundred years of Danish invasions and settlement had an enormous effect on Britain, bringing over from the continent as many people as had the Anglo-Saxon invasions, the effects on the language and customs of the English were not as catastrophic as the earlier invasions had been on the native British.
		The Anglo-Saxons were a Germanic race; their homelands had been in northern Europe, many of them coming, if not from Denmark itself, then from lands bordering that little country.
