Hardecanute King Of Denmark 
Hardecanute was born in 1019. Hardecanute's father is Canute II King Of Denmark and his mother was Emma Of Normandy. His paternal grandparents were Svend I "Forked Beard" Sweyn King of Denmark and Queen of Sweden, Norway and Denmark; his maternal grandparents were Richard I Duke Of Normandy and Gonnor De Crepon. He had a brother named Harold I. He had a half-brother and a half-sister, named Ingelric and Goda. He died at the age of 23 in 1042.General Notes
Hardecanute (Danish Hardeknud) (circa 1019-1042), king of Denmark (1035-1042) and last Danish king of England (1040-1042), probably born in Denmark. He was the son of King Canute and Emma of Normandy (Normandie) and thus the heir to the English realm. When Canute died, however, Hardecanute was in Denmark, and his illegitimate half brother, Harold Harefoot, who was then in England, took control of that country; he was accepted as King Harold I by the witenagemot (royal council) in 1037. The ensuing struggle between the two brothers was ended only by the death of Harold in 1040. Hardecanute, then officially chosen as king by the witenagemot, was unpopular with his subjects and left the control of the realm to his mother and the powerful Godwin, earl of Wessex. Hardecanute was succeeded in Denmark by Magnus I (the Good), king of Norway, and in England by his half brother Edward the Confessor
