Cnut the Great: The Most Powerful Viking King in History

Описание: In this episode of Majesty of History, we uncover the incredible true story of Cnut the Great (also known as King Canute). While popular legend remembers him for the story of "King Canute and the Tide," the reality is far more impressive.
Cnut was not just a warrior; he was a political genius who united England, Denmark, and Norway under a single crown, creating the legendary "North Sea Empire." From his brutal invasion of England alongside his father Sweyn Forkbeard to his brilliant marriage alliance with Emma of Normandy, Cnut managed to bridge the divide between the Viking Age and Medieval Europe.
