"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.

Don't use the Danish Wikipedia as documentation for anything here. Canute the Saint is normally considered Canute IV in Denmark and Canute the Great is Canute II. Canute I died in 934 according to the Great Danish Encyclopedia and he's not the person we're after here. I haven't read the German page but the Danish Wikipedia has a fork: da:Knud 1. (same person as on this page and one editor describes it as rubbish) and da:Knud 1. Hardeknud who is the person mentioned in the Great Danish Encyclopedia. I'm going to remove the Danish iw link, it does more harm than good, and I've asked a Danish editor to go through this and axe everything that isn't backed up by something solid.
