The Danish conquest of England was a series of invasions rather than a single event, beginning in 1013 and culminating with Cnut's victory in 1016.
Cnut the Great became a pivotal figure in European politics, ruling England, Denmark, and Norway at the height of his power and greatly influencing the era.
After Harthacnut's death in 1042, the Danish lineage reached an end, and English politics saw a restoration of Aethelred's line under Edward the Confessor.
The influence of Viking settlements expanded across northern Europe, with the Vikings establishing control in diverse locations such as Iceland, Greenland, and Ireland.
