    Notes:

    Succeeded his father on the Danish throne in 1039; and at the same time laid claim to that of England, which had devolved to his half-brother, Harold. A compromise was effected, by which he governed the southern part of the kingdom during Harold's life, and succeeded to the whole on his death. His conduct was violent and tyrannical; he revived the odious tax called Danegelt; and his subjects rejoiced at his early death, which happened in 1042.

    Was the son and successor of Sweyn, King of Denmark, with whom he invaded England in 1013. The next year, on the death of Sweyn, he was chosen king by the fleet. He contested the kingdom with Edmund II (Ironside), and on Edmund's death became sole king, and to strengthen his title married Emma, widow of Ethelred II. His rule, at first severe; was afterwards mild and just. He several times visited Denmark; made a pilgrimage to Rome in 1027; founded or restored religious houses; and established just laws.
