"they ruled together according to Swedish tradition." that tradition have the tradition had the origin from Adam of Bremen, and he only suppose that, because kings without the Christianity God are weakly kings.

- Sorry Haabet, but he never tried that with the pagan Swedish kings.--Wiglaf 3 July 2005 11:47 (UTC)
[edit] Gnupa
Gnupa is listed as Knut and Knud on the German and Danish wikipedias respectively. Also, the first Canute is Canute II. This would suggest that it should be "Gyrd and Canute (I)", rather than Gyrd and Gnupa. Lemmy Kilmister 11:00, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
- No, they are wrong. The two Sigtrygg Runestones show that the runic spelling of the name Gnupa was KNUBU. The only runic spelling for Canute that I know of is KNUTR (see the runic inscription referred to in the article on Danegeld).--Berig 12:58, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for explaining that.
