Edit: by the way, Knut is rarely mentioned in Norway, the fascination for him is very british(and possibly danish, but I wouldn't know as their language is impossible to decipher). Håkon Jarl is given as the ruler of Norway during the time Knut supposedly ruled - and that's because we were ruled by Håkon Jarl, even though he didn't have the title of King.
I find this interesting, because he's Danish and therefore acknowledging him has historical and cultural ramifications for you.

Still, I wish he had been more fortunate in his Sons, then England and Scotland would be Nordic Countries, not Frankish ones.
