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]
