What is the name of the first Danish king to rule in England?

Correct Answer: Canute

Canute (also known as Cnut or Cnut the Great) was the first Danish (Viking) king to rule England, becoming King of England in 1016 after defeating the Anglo-Saxon king Edmund Ironside and dividing the kingdom. Canute later ruled England, Denmark and Norway simultaneously.

He is famous for the legend of commanding the tide to turn back — an act intended to demonstrate to his flattering courtiers that even a king had limits and that true power belonged only to God. Canute oversaw a period of relative peace and is regarded as an effective ruler who adopted English customs and laws.
