Rise of Empires Hero - King Cnut

Cnut was one of the most remarkable monarchs in Danish history. He was the grandson of Harald Fairhair. Ruling Denmark, England, and Norway from 1016 to 1035, he was indeed a great ruler of the Nordic region. He was the one who helped Denmark reach its peak in power and was thus honored as "King Cnut". As the man who earned unprecedented honor, Cnut looked at the rogue waves and said, "From today on, the North Sea shall be waters of my empire, the North Sea Empire will be the most powerful empire in Northern Europe!" Cnut trained a team of royal guards very loyal to him. They were good helpers who cleared the way for his territory expansion. He also enacted the "Cnut Code", creating the legal basis for a stable and prosperous trade environment. As the empire became increasingly prosperous, Cnut set his sights on expansion. That's when he incorporated many states into the territory of the North Sea Empire. Thanks to the giant empire he built, people could have faith in the prosperous empire with a thriving culture. Cnut was indeed a prominent ruler of the North Sea Empire.
