(Danish Hardeknud) (circa 1019-42), the last Danish king of England. When his father Canute died (1035), However, Hardecanute was in Denmark, and his illegitimate half Brother, Harold HareFoot, who was then in England, took control of thatcountry; he was accepted as King Harold I by the witenagemot (royal council) in 1037. The ensuing struggle between the two Brothers was ended only by the Death of Harold in 1040. Hardecanute, then officially chosen as king by the witenagemot,was unpopular with his subjects and left the control of the realm to his mother and the powerful Godwin, earl of Wessex (d. 1053). Hardecanute was succeeded in Denmark by Magnus I (the Good), king of Norway, and in England by his half BrotherEdward the Confessor. |
