Cnut the Great MBTI性格类型
背景
Cnut (sometimes spelled ‘Canute’) became king of England following the death of Edmund II. He ruled well and gained favour with his English subjects by sending most of his army back to Denmark. In 1017, Cnut married Emma of Normandy, the widow of Æthelred II and divided England into the four earldoms of East Anglia, Mercia, Northumbria and Wessex. Cnut became King of Denmark in 1019 and King of Norway in 1028, making him the ruler of a massive empire surrounding the North Sea. Cnut converted to Christianity and was an avid protector of the Church; he promoted leaders of the English Church and was acknowledged by the Pope as the first Viking to becoming a Christian King. Cnut was an astute statesman. Rather than rejecting the former Anglo-Saxon kings of England, he went out of his way to show support for them. He did this by visiting or making gifts to shrines associated with Anglo-Saxon kings. He adopted a new law code, which was regarded as introducing a strong but fair regime.
