Who is Saint Canute?

Saint Canute, also known as Canute IV (Knud in Danish), is a saint venerated in the Christian tradition. He was a Danish king who ruled Denmark in the 11th century: born around 1040, he took the throne in 1080. Stoners in the Spanish-speaking world love him for the name alone, since in Spain a "canuto" is a joint. Canute IV was known for his piety and his fairness as a ruler, and he was seen as a wise and virtuous king. During his reign he worked to promote peace, justice and charity, and to spread Christianity throughout his kingdom. Despite his efforts to rule justly, Saint Canute was murdered in St. Alban's Church in Odense, Denmark, on July 10, 1086. After his death he was venerated as a saint because of his devout life and his martyrdom. Saint Canute is considered the patron saint of Denmark and is invoked as a protector of kings, farmers, fishermen and sailors. His feast day was traditionally celebrated on January 19 in the liturgical calendar.
