Harthacnut (mar 18, 1040 – jun 8, 1042)

Description:

son of Cnut by Emma of Normandy. When Cnut died in 1035, in Denmark he was succeeded by Harthacnut, reigning as Cnut III. At home in England, Harold Harefoot seized the throne and Queen Emma was forced to flee to Flanders. Eventual peace in Scandinavia left Harthacnut free to claim the throne himself in 1040 and to regain for his mother her place. He brought the crowns of Denmark and England together again until his death in 1042.
