Death of Cnut the Great
November 12, 1035
The Danish king of England, Norway, and much of Scandinavia died at Shaftesbury at about forty, leaving a North Sea empire that fell apart within seven years. His sons by two wives quarrelled; his English ministers defected; Norway broke free within months. The greatest Viking imperial achievement had been personal.
