voorbeelde

The story of King Canute and the tide is an apocryphal anecdote illustrating the piety or humility of King Canute the Great, recorded in the 12th century by Henry of Huntingdon.
Priča o kralju Knutu i plimi je apokrifna anegdota koja ilustrira pobožnost ili poniznost kralja Knuta Velikog, koju je u 12. st. zabilježio Henry iz Huntingdona.

But then, after a great battle at Ashington in 1016 and the death of King Edmund of Wessex later that same year, the Viking leader Canute—a professed Christian—became sole king of England.
No nakon velike bitke kod Ashingtona, koja se odigrala 1016, i smrti kralja Edmunda II od Wessexa kasnije te iste godine, vikinški vođa Knut — kršćanin po vjeroispovijedi — postao je jedini kralj Engleske.
