canute teriminin İngilizce İngilizce sözlükte anlamı: A male given name used in England from the eleventh to the thirteenth century; Canute the Great, king of England, Denmark and Norway; the King of England from 1016 to 1035, who also became King of Denmark and Norway. According to an old story, King Canute once ordered the sea to stop moving towards the land (?995-1035); used in England from the eleventh to the thirteenth century; king of Denmark and Norway who forced Edmund II to divide England with him; on the death of Edmund II, Canute became king of all England (994-1035)
Canute the Great: Danish Knut died Nov. 12, 1035 Danish king of England (1016-35), Denmark (1019-35), and Norway (1028-35). He helped his father, Sweyn I, invade England in 1013. Sweyn was accepted as king of England after exiling King Ethelred II but died in 1014; Canute returned and defeated Ethelred's son to win the English throne in 1016. At first he ruled ruthlessly, killing English opponents and appointing Danes in their places, but within a few years he had married Ethelred's widow and was granting earldoms to Englishmen. Canute proved an effective ruler who brought peace and prosperity to England, issued an important law code, and became a strong supporter of the church. With English help he secured the throne of Denmark on his brother's death. His early death and that of his sons led to the restoration of Ethelred's dynasty
