    Hi Regnar,

    Do you have a lineage for king Cnut ? It would be interesting to see if it intersects with William of Normandy's. I know that Cnut's half-sister Estrith was married to William's father duke Robert I for a time, but there were no children: apparently her first husband (Ulf), murdered (? 1027) by Cnut, sired Swein Estrithsson (d. 1074), king of Denmark.
