Adam of Bremen was a serious chronicler. I wonder whether the dubiousness of the kings preceeding Gorm the Old has anything to do with their being Swedes.--Wiglaf 08:20, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: English names of monarchs missing

message: Harthacanute is the name usually used in English for King Canute's son, the name Canute the Hardy being less well-known; but that refers to his reign in England, not in Denmark; the article Harthacanute says: He succeeded his father as King of Denmark in 1035, reigning as Canute III. The use of both Canute and Cnut on this list is inconsistent (since the spelling Knud is consistent in Danish, why do we have the first king called Harthacnut, with the spelling cnut, and the next two called Canute? I suggest the father of Gorm be called Harthacanute (despite the use of Harthacnut for his Wikipedia article title) to match the spelling of the later kings in English, and that Canute the Hardy be called Canute III on the list, since there's no logic in translating him as the Hardy when the previous king of the same name was not so translated (we need here an English translation of what the Danes call him as a Danish king rather than a copy of what the English call him as an English king). This would leave everything consistent, the only remaining anomaly being the article titled Harthacnut, a change to which might be addressed as a separate matter. qp10qp 18:47, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: A bit late perhaps: There is a general and spesific debate on how to name monarchs here. I believe the monarch articles should in the overwhelming majority of cases follow the common convention. As to the spesific problem I suggest making your changes and see what happens. They seem logical and if it makes the list more consistant it's probably good :) Inge 18:40, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Someone has moved the page Harthacnut of Denmark to Hardecnudth of Denmark, on the grounds that that is his oldest name. I think this is getting silly now. It's not so much a question of what these kings' earliest names were as about how they are best spelled in English (or else we would have to call William I Guillaume I. And there has to be consistency between kings' article pages and the list here, surely — not to mention consistency between spellings of different kings with the same names. The convention on Wikipedia is that names should be the ones most commonly used in English; the trouble with this early Hardecanute/Hardecnut/Hardecnudth/Hardeknud/Harthacnut/Harthacanute/Hardegon chap is that he isn't much known in England and so hasn't achieved a regular name. But I think his name should somewhere include the spelling "canute", as that is the most comment English way to spell that name, the second most common being "cnut". As for Hardecnudth. I note that this list gives knud as the spelling of the last part as the Danish version; the extra th, for me as an Englishman, adds nothing but consonant pile up.qp10qp 18:01, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Harthacanute/Canute the Hardy/Hardeknud

message: These names are used by the Great Danish Encyclopedia (Store Danske Encyklopædi):
*Knud 1. Hardegon, Hardeknud Svendsen (d. 934.) In the text, he is referred to as "Hardegon".
*Knud 2. den Store (ca. 995-1035) (=Canute the Great)
*Knud 3. Hardeknud (1020-42). In the text, he is referred to as "Hardeknud".
*Knud 4. den Hellige (d. 10 July 1086) (literally: Canute the Holy)
*Knud 5. Magnussen (d. 1157). In the text, he is referred to as "Knud"
*Knud 6. Valdemarsen (1163-1202). In the text; referred to as "Knud".
I don't think the "full names" are used normally. Canute the Great and Canute the Saint are referred to by these names. Not sure about Canute III but I guess "Hardeknud" would be the name normally used for him. He died very young and never left any lasting impact. I don't know much about the disputed origins of Canute I, but I noticed that the Great Danish Encyclopedia refers to him as "Hardegon". Regards.

message: If anybody has an idea for a new dummy image for the missing portraits it would be very welcome. The problem is that the coat of arms of Denmark can only be traced to the reign of Canute VI. Weak indicators point towards his father Valdemar I, but the use of this symbol before these two kings is a complete anachronism. Valentinian T / C 21:54, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

:Sounds like a good idea, but I think a distinct list might be the best option. Have you seen List of Norwegian queens? And btw, such a list might better be named "List of Danish royal consorts" (or something along those lines) in order to include Prince Henrik. Valentinian T / C 00:01, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

message: What is the historical basis for assigning a year to the beginning of Gorm's reign.  I am unaware of any evidence that allows this to be determined. Agricolae (talk) 19:13, 13 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: According to Adam of Bremen he reigned in 936, and his son Harald Bluetooth was alive and old/grown enough to have his own opinions on various matters. What we don't know is when Gorm began his reign. Before the dendrochronological dating of the burial chamber that many (but not all) scholars belive to be the chamber of Gorm the Old, his reign was often listed as c. 930 - c. 943 in Danish textbooks - but these years was no more than 'qualified' assumptions. Oleryhlolsson (talk) 09:09, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately, according to the same Adam, Hardegon (usually interpreted as Harthacnut) succeeded Sigtrygg, son of Gnupa, during the tenure of Archbishop Hoger (909-915/7), and he then reigned for about 30 years. Were Gorm to succeed him, then a 936 date is reasonable.  However, this conflicts with Widukind, who shows Gnupa leading the Danes in 934, and there just isn't time to fit in Sigtrygg and a long reign for Hardegon within two years.  Adam's chronology is thus problematic, particularly if we assume that Gorm was ruling 'Denmark', as opposed to 'in part of Denmark' at the time he rebuffed Archbishop Unni.  The alternative is to go with the version represented by Olaf Tryggvassons saga, and have Gorm defeating Gnupa, which one can then place in the 934-936 range, but one can't do this without impeaching Adam as a source for the whole Hardegon scenario, and one has to be careful in concluding he is entirely out to lunch for one part of his narrative, yet entirely accurate for the other. I can live with ca. 936, though I would prefer a stronger indication of the uncertainty (for example "ca. 936?" or something similar).Agricolae (talk) 21:15, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  Note that before Gorm, and probably also including most of the reign of Gorm, Denmark probably wasn't unified. There was likely multiple "king of the Danes". Besides, we can't really trust most of the sources from that time which is why kings predating the beginning of history in Denmark (the raising of the Jelling stones and what is documented on them) are considered pre-historic and legendary. Carewolf (talk) 09:31, 17 September 2017 (UTC)

text: I for one don't agree with the scholars that identifies/interpret Harthacnut as Hardegon so I think we should be carefull about this assumption. This line of thinking was more or less blown apart (deconstructed if I should use a 'finer' word) by Lis Jacobsen in 1929. I know, that some historians in the 1980s have tried to rehabiltate the notion, that Hardegon and Harthacnut is one and the same person, but I must admit, that to this day I haven't read a convincing disprove of Lis Jacobsen's line of arguments. I therefore tend to se Hardegon more like a commander or chief of the army than an actual king. About Gorms reign I would think it probably would best cover and easily explain the uncertanties about his reign if we wrote something like ? - 936 - c. 958 or  ? - 936 [first mentioned] - c. 958 Oleryhlolsson (talk) 11:42, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course, there is the other hypothesis - that Hardecnudth Vurm appearing in some editions of Adam without the 'filius' is the original, and means that Gorm and Harthacnut were the same person: .  I don't think this is very common, but I have seen it before. Agricolae (talk) 17:47, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course, I have read this interpretation too - it's hardly convincing, and Lis Jacobsen, for one, also renounced / rejected this posibility categorically. Oleryhlolsson (talk) 19:26, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
