This seminal biography draws from a wealth of written and archaeological sources to provide the most detailed accounting to date of the life and accomplishments of a remarkable figure in European history, a forward-thinking warrior-turned-statesman who created a new Anglo-Danish regime through designed internationalism.English monarchs series.DanesEnglandHistoryHISTORY / MedievalbisacshGreat BritainKings and rulersBiographyGreat BritainHistoryCanute, 1017-1035DanesHistory.HISTORY / Medieval.942.01/81092BBolton Timothy, 1113652DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910162707203321Cnut the Great2888034UNINA
