Did Cnut the Great control Wessex?

>>3235058
yes

>>3235058
...Of-course.
Wessex was the most valuable and important Earldom, why would he usurp the line of cerdic and not take their prime real-estate.
He appointed Godwin to run the joint who did nothing wrong btw.

The questions i like is who controlled places like cornwall? The isle of man and the welsh frontier?

>>3235191
The entire Godwinson family were fucking evil traitors.

becausev he was a cuck

>>3235058
Not directly. They were under his suzerainty. The Godwins were the lords of those lands.

>>3235058
Yes, Wessex is part of England.

this map is wrong for Cnut's reign, by that point Cornwall had been subsumed into England by that point.
>Isle of Man
the Norse
>the Welsh frontier
Mercian (Mercia means the border land) earls and the Welsh fought over it. Harold Godwinson cut his teeth fighting in Wales

Was this Empire divided amongst his descendants? Why did it not survive? Was it economically superior to its neighbours? Did the HRE acknowledge the Cnut empires naval superiority?

>>3238780
HRE was literally stuck between Danish naval force and Poland in the East since they were Danish ally.

>>3235058
why is it important?

>>3235058
Those names are very funny, they make me laugh.
