About the Book

"Rey de toda Inglaterra y Dinamarca y de los noruegos y de algunos suecos" - título autoproclamado de Cnut.

"Knut era excepcionalmente alto y fuerte, y el más apuesto de los hombres, excepto por su nariz, que era fina, alta y algo aguileña. Sin embargo, tenía la tez clara y el pelo fino y espeso. Sus ojos eran mejores que los de otros hombres, tanto los más guapos como los más agudos de vista". - Saga Knytlinga

En cierto sentido, Cnut el Grande estaba prácticamente destinado a la grandeza, aunque sólo fuera porque procedía de una distinguida familia real danesa. El padre de Cnut era Sweyn Forkbeard, y su abuelo Harald Bluetooth, ambos reyes prominentes y legendarios de Dinamarca. Por su parte, su madre era viuda del rey sueco Erik el Victorioso, hija del duque polaco Mieszko y hermana del rey polaco Boleslav Chrobry (Lund 1999: 28).

Gracias a sus antecedentes y a sus propias habilidades, Cnut se convirtió en el más destacado de los reyes daneses de Inglaterra (desde 1016), pero también fue en ocasiones rey de Dinamarca (desde 1018-9), Noruega (desde 1028) y partes de Suecia (después de 1026). Durante su reinado, unió Inglaterra, protegió Dinamarca y tuvo mucha influencia en toda Escandinavia, una hazaña notable que consiguió mediante cuidadosas alianzas y diplomacia, aunque la mayoría de las veces mediante la fuerza directa. Por ello, Cnut ha sido considerado el mayor rey anglosajón de Inglaterra, a pesar de que en realidad no era anglosajón. Murió en 1035, poco antes de la conquista normanda de Inglaterra por Guillermo el Conquistador.

Durante siglos, los vikingos habían realizado incursiones por toda la región, incluidas las Islas Británicas, y las campañas de Cnut representaron la cúspide de esa actividad. Irónicamente, Cnut es uno de los líderes mejor documentados de los vikingos, una civilización que fascina sobre todo porque sigue pareciendo misteriosa y diferente en comparación con sus homólogos europeos. Como muchos gobernantes de la época, Cnut cayó en el olvido en los siglos posteriores a su muerte, aunque algunos textos y crónicas medievales documentaron su vida y reinado. Sin embargo, su asociación con los vikingos ha contribuido a resucitar el interés por Cnut casi mil años después de su muerte. El interés por los vikingos alcanzó su punto álgido en toda Europa en los siglos 18th y 19th, sobre todo durante el llamado renacimiento vikingo de aquella época. Los arqueólogos empezaron a excavar en busca de restos vikingos y los entusiastas de la lingüística se fijaron en las lenguas nórdicas antiguas para comprender mejor la lengua inglesa. En esa misma época, los vikingos se hicieron omnipresentes en la cultura popular; las representaciones culturales de los vikingos en el arte y la literatura contribuyeron a las coloridas caracterizaciones erróneas que aún hoy se asocian a los vikingos.

Cnut el Grande narra la vida y el legado de uno de los reyes más famosos e influyentes de la Edad Media. Junto con una bibliografía e imágenes de personas y lugares importantes, aprenderás sobre Cnut como nunca antes, en un abrir y cerrar de ojos.
