Revision as of 21:58, 19 July 2015 by Phoenician (talk | contribs) (on the sparse side, but at least they can now be expanded upon :))
Hardicanute was King of England from 1040 to 1042. He succeeded his half-brother Harold Harefoot to the throne. The son of Canute of Denmark and Emma of Normandy, he is also a cousin of Princess Katharine. [1]
His reign was a short one, after (possibly) being poisoned and dying at a wedding two years later. His successor would be his other half-brother, Edward the Confessor. [2]
