Harthacnut is not at name. Canute is a name. and Hartha- is a byname as the correct english name is Hartha-Canute
I danish the name with be Hårde-Knud.
I would like to despute the neutrality of the article. It describes the told tale as a fact, rather than as a chronicle of a single source that is not widely accepted, and especially not by danish historians.
- Adam of Bremen tell as one of his sources is Achievement of Angles today known as the Old English annals in this source Harthacnut been followed of Gorm, see List_of_monarchs_of_East_Anglia, as this Harthacnut = Guthfrith.
the "interview" by Adam of Bremen of king Sweyn Estridsson is fiction.
Gnupa was danish king in 934 and Gorm was king in 936 and between these was Gnupas son king. It create a short regime of HarthacnutHåbet 08:17, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- 1) Yes, Hartha- is a "nickname".
- 2) No, the Danish form would is Hardeknud; "Hårde-" is probably Norwegian.
- 3) I'm changing the opening paragraph to something less matter-of-fact.
- 4) We know Adam was in Denmark, and most likely he did in fact visit king Sweyn. That doesn't mean what he wrote down is the absolute truth, of course.
- 5) Gnupa was defeated by Henry the Fowler of Saxony in 934. That's pretty much all we know of him. For all we know, he might not even have been king of Denmark (all of it, anyway).
