history

Canute was born on 12 July in the summer of 996. He is the youngest 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 as his own son. He took good care of Canute and protected him quite a bit from the everyday schemes and politics that are part of the royal court. Canute was raised to be a Christian and is portrayed as being very devout to his faith. It is the year 1013 and King Sweyn's forces have successfully invaded large parts of England but have been stopped 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 let 4000 soldiers fight for London. He tells Floki and Ragnar that he will leave Canute to command forces in London. Ragnar protests this decision saying that Canute is still too young at the age of 17 to lead such a battle but Sweyn insists that Canute stay and tells Ragnar that this could be a good experience for his son whom he considers rather soft and assumes 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 chasing the main army with their prisoners: Canute, 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 Canute, whom he calls a little prince, about his opinion on the matter. But Canute remains completely silent and hidden behind his helmet, not even raising his head. Thorkell's forces encounter some of Ragnar's men who demand that Canute be returned. Thorkell promptly does so, but then insists that Ragnar's soldiers fight him. Battle breaks out here, but is interrupted by fire set by Askeladd's band. Canute, Ragnar, and Willibald are later rescued from the fire and from Thorkell's men by Thorfinn, who brings them to Askeladd. Ragnar, though not very 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 at his face. Canute does so without saying a word, revealing his face and surprising everyone present with how feminine he looks.

Thorfinn By order of Askeladd, Thorfinn is put in charge of being Canute's personal guard. Initially upon meeting Thorfinn, Cnut is frightened of him, immediately hiding behind Ragnar after being introduced. [11] Despite this, however, Cnut stares at Thorfinn on multiple occasions on their journey, seemingly interested in getting to know him better. This is not lost on Thorfinn, as he begins to pester the prince to speak his mind after an encounter with the Welshman. Cnut responds to Thorfinn, albeit with a noticeable stutter. Thorfinn jokingly refers to Cnut as "Princess", causing the young prince to become nervous. This is much to Ragnar's surprise, as he notes that this is the first time Cnut has spoken to someone other than himself. [12] Making Thorfinn the first person Cnut has spoken so openly to other than Ragnar. Ragnar Ragnar is Canute's chief retainer, whom he has served since he was a small child. He also functioned as a foster father and guardian, educating the prince and ensuring that 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.

x2 relationships

King Sweyn King Svend is Canute's father and seems to harbor very little affection for his second son. This is in stark contrast to Canute's elder brother Harald, who is the favorite of the two sons due to Harald's accomplishments and skill in battle. As a result, Canute was demoted to the role of "spare son" who was left to fend for himself with Ragnar at court. Therefore, King Sweyn has very little interest in keeping Canute alive, as he would pose a threat to his older brother Harald. Therefore, in an attempt to kill or possibly mature his youngest son, King Sweyn sends Canute to fight Thorkell's forces with only 4000 men.
