King of England, Norway & Denmark
He built his North Sea empire through conquest and marriage. In 978 heseized
his father's kingdom of Denmark and began making raids on England, often
demanding protection payments. In 1000 he attacked Norway and becameruler. Two
years later Ethelred, the King of England, fearing that Sweyn's empirewould
overrun his kingdom, ordered that the Danes settled in England bemassacred.
This order was impracticable in many areas where Danes had strongholdsbut
where the policy was carried out the consequences were terrible. Amongthe
Danes massacred at Oxford was Sweyn's sister Gunnhild, and Sweyn'sresolve to
rule England was hardened. The Massacre of St Brice's Day turned supportfrom
Ethelred and the king executed many who expressed pro-Danish sympathies.Sweyn
enjoyed several early successes at Oxford and Winchester but was unableto
seize London despite frequent attempts in 994. By late 1013, however, hehad
devastated fifteen counties and driven Ethelred from England but diedearly the
next year following a fall from his horse. He had two sons; Harold 1V of
Denmark and Canute, later to be king of England.
