When was he born ??

Svend II king in Denmark was born about 1020. He married at least three times but also had a fair number of illegitimate children.

I am interested in his illegitimate son Knud, Kund II was king in Denmark from 1080 till he was killed in 1086. He was beatified and became known as Knud the Saint. Can anyone make a guess when Knud II was born?

He is an ancestor of a fair number of Gateway Ancestors to the United States, Canada, Jamaica and Brazil, amongst these are

Robert Baillie - Sarah Blair - James Boyd - Pedro IV-I Emperor of Brazil - Alexander Campbell - Colin Campbell - Patrick Campbell - James Cuthbert - James Dundas - Thomas Dundas - Peter Penn Gaskell - Janet Graham - Alexander Grant - David Haldane - Thomas Hamilton - James Irving - Isabella MacDonald - Donald Macgregor otherwise Drummond -Samuel Mackay - Allan MacNab - Sir Alexander Nisbet 5th Bt - James Orr - Robert Rollo - Lady Christina Stewart - Charles Stirling - James Stirling - Lewis Stirling - Robert Stirling

Hope someone can help.

St. Canute IV

Also spelled CNUT.

Martyr and King of Denmark, date of birth uncertain; d. 10 July 1086,
the third of the thirteen natural sons of Sweyn II surnamed Estridsen.
Elected king on the death of his brother Harold about 1080, he waged war
on his barbarous enemies and brought Courland and Livonia to the faith.
Having married Eltha, daughter of Robert, Count of Flanders, he had a
son Charles, surnamed the good. He was a strong ruler, as is proved by
his stern dealing with the pirate Eigill of Bornholm. The happiness of
his people and the interests of the Church were the objects he had most
at heart. To the cathedral of Roskilde, still the royal burying-place,
he gave his own diadem. His austerity was equalled by his assiduity in
prayer. An expedition to England, in favour of the Saxons against
William the Conqueror, planned by him in 1085, failed through the
treachery of his brother Olaf. His people having revolted on account of
the cruelties of certain tax-collectors, Canute retired to the island of
Funen. There, in the church of St. Alban, after due preparation for
death, the king, his brother Benedict, and seventeen others were
surrounded and slain, 10 July, 1086. His feast is 19 January,
translation, 10 July; his emblems, a lance or arrows, in memory of the
manner of his death.
