Although initially timid, weak, and always hiding behind Ragnar, Canute later begins to stand up for himself while Thorfinn constantly belittles him. Wanting revenge on his father for having been secretly marked for death, Canute develops a more authoritarian and demanding personality.

history

Canute was born on 12 July in the summer of 996. He is the younger son of Sweyn, King of Denmark, who also conquered large parts of England and Wales. He has an older brother, Harald, and a sister, Estrid. Although his father is Sweyn, he spent most of his childhood being raised by Ragnar, who was his guardian and treated Canute like his own son. He took good care of Canute and sheltered him from the day-to-day schemes and politics that are part of the royal court. Canute was raised to be a Christian and is portrayed as very devout in his faith. It is the year 1013 and King Sweyn's forces have successfully invaded large parts of England but have been halted when they reached the trading city of London due to unexpected resistance, mainly due to Thorkell's decision to fight on the side of the English. Sweyn decides to leave London and conquer the rest of England with 4/5 of his men and leave 4000 soldiers to fight for London. He tells Floki and Ragnar that he will leave Cnut to command forces in London. Ragnar protests this decision saying that Cnut is still too young at the age of 17 to lead such a battle, but Sweyn insists that Cnut stay and tells Ragnar that this could be a good experience for his son, whom he considers to be rather soft and assumes that it could be a result of his Christian upbringing. Through an informant who tells Askeladd about the event that took place in London, we learn that Canute's forces have been defeated and he is taken hostage by Thorkell and his men who are heading towards the main force led by King Sweyn. Askeladd devises a plan to confront Thorkell and his soldiers and rescue Canute. Because he is the king's son and second to the throne of Denmark, Sweyn would likely offer large sums of money for him.

history x2

Thorkell's forces pursue the main army with their prisoners: Cnut, Ragnar, and Willibald. They are talking and joking among themselves and touch on the subject of Christianity and the differences between the Christian god and the gods celebrated in Norse mythology. This prompts Thorkell to ask Cnut, whom he calls Princeling, about his opinion on the matter. But Cnut remains completely silent and hidden behind his helmet, not even lifting his head. Thorkell's forces encounter some of Ragnar's men who demand that Cnut be returned. Thorkell immediately does so, but then insists that Ragnar's soldiers fight him. A battle breaks out here but is interrupted by a fire started by Askeladd's band. Cnut, Ragnar, and Willibald are later rescued from the fire and from Thorkell's men by Thorfinn, who brings them before Askeladd. Ragnar, though not entirely happy with Askeladd's plan that wiped out his battalion, still entrusts Canute's safety to him. Askeladd kneels before Canute and swears on his father's name that he will serve him, but asks the prince to remove his helmet so he can look into his face. Canute does so wordlessly, revealing her face and surprising everyone present with how feminine she appears.

Thorfinn: By order of Askeladd, Thorfinn is assigned to be Canute's personal guard. Initially, upon meeting Thorfinn, Canute is frightened of him, immediately hiding behind Ragnar after being introduced. However, despite this, Canute stares at Thorfinn on multiple occasions during their journey, seemingly interested in getting to know him better. This doesn't escape Thorfinn's notice, as he begins to press the prince to say what he thinks after an encounter with the Welsh. Canute responds to Thorfinn, albeit with a noticeable stutter. Thorfinn jokingly refers to Canute as "Princess," which makes the young prince nervous. This is to Ragnar's great surprise, as he notes that this is the first time Canute has spoken to someone other than himself, making Thorfinn the first person Canute has spoken so openly with besides Ragnar. Ragnar: Ragnar is Canute's principal servant, whom he has served since he was a small child. He also acted as a foster father and tutor, educating the prince and ensuring he had a normal upbringing. Ragnar would speak on the prince's behalf, protect him, and guide the young prince through a difficult life at the Danish court. Ragnar describes that Canute saw horrible things and was very sickly as a child.

relationships x2

King Sweyn King Sweyn is Canute's father and seems to harbor very little affection for his second son. This contrasts sharply with Canute's older brother, Harald, who is the favorite of the two sons due to Harald's achievements and skill in battle. As a result, Canute was relegated to the role of a "spare son," left to his own devices with Ragnar at court. Therefore, King Sweyn has very little interest in keeping Canute alive, as he would represent a threat to his older brother, Harald. Therefore, in an attempt to kill or possibly toughen up his younger son, King Sweyn sends Canute to fight Thorkell's forces with only 4000 men.
