 | | Cnut the Great was a son of Svein Haraldson Forkedbeard, whose forefathers, for a long course of generations, had ruled over Denmark. |
| | The Danish King, Svein Haraldson, ruled also over Norway, and placed his son-in-law Earl Eirik, the son of Earl Håkon, to defend the country. |
| | The brothers Eirik and Svein, Earl Håkon's sons, ruled the land until Earl Eirik went west to England, on the invitation of his brother-in-law Cnut the Great, when he left behind his son Earl Håkon, sister's son of Cnut the Great, to govern Norway. |
