message: Canute is probably the english spoken version of the germanic name "Knut". If this is true, shouldn't it be included in the article?
:It is the English version of the Danish name Knud. His Danish name is included in the article. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 15:43, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I cut this sentence for semi-incomprehensibility and speculation. I place it here in case anyone disagrees or wants to rewrite it.
It is likely that the men would have gone to help the English, if not for the dictation of their king and more for the Danegeld in a greater community feeling than a top-bottom infrastructure of cooperation.--qp10qp 23:52, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The first paragraph contains the phrase "and devoutedly supported the Roman Catholic Church," which I think should be either "devoutly" or "devotedly". Does anyone have a preference?

message: The previous king Canute of Denmark was Canute I.  What happened to Canute II and Canute III?  --  JackofOz (talk) 01:55, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not quite so but close. You'll find the reason in his Danish name: "Knud". The traditional view is that two other monarchs went by the name of "Hardeknud" [the first syllable meaning something like "Hard"] so the line is thus: Hardeknud (= Knud I, 920s?-940s?) [predating Gorm the Old who is normally referred to as Denmark's "first" monarch, for the singualar reason, that he is the one that can be positively verified]. Extremely little is known about this Knud I. The other monarchs of this name an be positively verified from historical records: Knud II den Store (Canute the Great, king of Denmark 1018-1035), Hardeknud (= Knud III. King of Denmark 1035-1042 and of England 1040-1042), Knud IV den Hellige (Canute the Holy. King of Denmark 1080-1086), Knud V was one of three rival kings during the Danish civil war in the 1150s and Knud VI reigned 1182-1202. Some authors (as I understand it, often associated with the Politiken publishing house) have tried to modify the list of kings to differ between people named "Knud" vs. "Hardeknud", but counting the Saint-king as number IV is the traditional view. This is also the one used on the official website of the Palace. (English) and  (Danish). The Danish version of the Palace's web page notes about the issue [see Knud II den Store in the Danish version of the list of monarchs]: (quote) "Knud II den Store er den første konge, der førte navnet Knud. I tidens løb - i opslagsbøger m.v. - kaldet Knud II, hvilket reelt er forkert. Denne fejl fortsætter for senere konger, der førte navnet Knud. For ikke at skabe forvirring bibeholdes de anerkendte betegnelser.) (unquote) = "Knud II the Great was the first monarch to hold the name Knud. In the course of time - in reference works etc - referred to as Knud II, which is technically seen wrong. This error continues for subsequent monarchs of the same name. In order to avoid confusion, this page uses the established terminology"). 80.163.68.22 (talk) 20:28, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Why IV?

message: Karl or Carl. His Wiki page,Charles of Flanders, doesn't even say the word on it.
Yet, it says it both ways on this page.
I vote for Karl but didn't want to change it and get screamed at on my page..

thread_title:  Knut's Son 

message: :King Canute IV was canonized as a saint under the name San Canuto.6
That seems to be what the Danish reference says:
:Han blev i 1100-1101 som den første i Danmark helgenkåret af paven som Sct. Knud (San Canuto).
but I don't understand why a Pope would use an Italian or Spanish name in the canonization in 1100.
Shouldn't it be a Latin name (* Sanctus Canutus)?
