King Cnut

Legg inn av Alina » 30 des 2005 16:38:21

Does King Cnut the Great of England have any living descendents? I
know that his sons left no children behind that we know of, but his
daughter Gunnhild married the Holy Roman Emperor, Henry III in 1036.
Did they have children, and what became of Cnut's progeny?

Thanks!

Gunnhild and Emperor henry III had an only daughter, beatrice, born 1037, +

13 July 1061; she became abbess of Gandersheim, and then of quedlimburg.
Emperor henry III took as his 2nd wife Agnes, dau of Duke William V of
Aquitaine, and Agnes of Burgundy, and by her had 4 more daughters and 2
sons. (M. BLACK, Die Töchter Kaiser Heinrichs III. und der Kaiserin Agnes,

hope this helps
