I assume you are referring to Canute the Great, also known as King Knut.

He was born in Denmark around 1000 AD, and died in 1035. He was a king of Denmark, conquered England and Norway, and was also King of those countries.

So, to your question, he lived in both Denmark and England, and was buried in England.

See verse five. (SUFFOLK, ENGLAND)

GIPES WIC TO IPSWICH

Long before flint, iron, or bronze would appear:
men lived, loved and died and were buried here.
Old Brickfield, Dales Road; the oldest grave found,
and then the first trading; flint tools they ground.

Bronze age was next, their tombs are the Headlands.
Dales Road, North end, the graves of the Romans.
Angles sailed the Orwell, Romans to beat:
they were then burned by the first Viking fleet.

Up the Stour and Orwell, Alfred came fast:
so Danish king Guthrun; his time was past.
Back came the Vikings in nine ninety one;
Earldorman Byrtwort was killed at Maldon.

A Danish Kent leader; Thurkill the Tall,
then fought Ulfketel, the Snelling did fall.
When Thurkill won; Ringmere Pit was the place:
Thetford you'll find, but, of Ringmere no trace.

King Cnut, in ten sixteen, Thurkill did fight:
Thurkill lost, but, retained the ruling right.
Ten sixty six, the Norman warrior came,
William the Conqueror of school history fame.

On twenty years, and all is desolate,
with Roger Bigod, local potentate.
Centuries erased the name of Gipes Wic,
now it's the Royal Borough of Ipswich.

Merchants and kings, farmers, fools and sages.
Wars, poverty, wealth, all through the ages.
Everything changes; yet all is the same:
we live, love and die and pass on our name.

Binary options let users trade in currency pairs and stocks for various predetermined time-periods, minimal of which is 30 seconds. Executing trades is straightforward. The system uses user-friendly interfaces, which even an 8 years old kid, can operate without having to read any instructions. But winning trades is Not easy.
Binary trading is advertised as the only genuine system that lets users earn preposterous amounts of money in ridiculously short period of time. Advertisers try to implicate as if you can make $350 every 60 seconds; if it was true then binary trading would truly be an astonishing business.
However, does it make any sense? Can every trader make tons of money in binary trading? Who is actually paying all the money or the profit to traders?
The first challenge is finding a trustworthy binary broker; secondly, you need to find a binary trading strategy, which you can use to make profits consistently. Without an effective trading strategy, there is no way you can make money in this business.
Learning a profitable trading strategy is possible, You should watch this presentation video https://tr.im/16635
It's probably the best way to learn how to win with binary option

What Did King Canute Do

Knutsford in Cheshire is named after him. Some 25 years ago, when British Telecom (or its equivalent) used to give out A5 sized phone dialling code directoties, they spelled the name wrong by reversing the n and u - honestly, it's true! Oh how they laughed!!

A common misconception is that you will have to be a financial and business expert in order to successfully trade binary options. However, this is not true at all. Learn here https://tr.im/vUvMh

Perhaps it’s true when it comes to traditional stocks trading but definitely not true in the case of binaries. You don’t have to be an expert to predict the movement of certain assets.

He was born in Denmark and probably lived there until he and his army invaded and conquered England in 1016. He probably took residence in London, the capitol, and lived there when he wasn't off conquering Denmark and Norway.

My personal list of English and British Monarchs would be the following: 1. Queen Elizabeth II - Our present Queen has been the Monarch my whole life and in my opinion, she's done an excellent job: I'm proud to have her as my Head of State. Long live the Queen! 2. Queen Victoria - Another Monarch who symbolised an entire era, it was during her reign the British Empire became the most powerful country in the world and the largest Empire the world has ever known. 3. Edward VII - Although no one expected much of the Monarch who succeeded the great Queen Victoria, Edward proved them all wrong. He fostered good relations between the UK and other European countries, especially France, for which he was popularly called "Peacemaker". He also predicted a great war and was proved right when World war I started just 4 years after his death. 4. Elizabeth I - An unwanted daughter of Henry VIII (who desperately wanted a son), she proved that a woman could not only reign, but reign gloriously. Elizabeth I united the country, managed to calm the religious conflicts in England and create atmosphere of religious tolerance, and perhaps most importantly, managed to repel all the attacks of foreign foes, including the famous attack of the Spanish Armada. 5. George VI - Although he was thrust into a position he never wanted after the abdication of his elder brother, he did a far better job as a Monarch than the weak Edward VIII could have ever managed. His resolution and strength during World War II raised the morale of the people, his insistence to share all the troubles with his people and staunch refusal of the Royal Family to leave Britain even when occupation seemed imminent earned them the lifelong respect, admiration and love. 6. Edward I 7. Edward III 8. Henry IV 9. Henry VII 10. Alfred the Great 11. Egbert My favourite Queens Consort are (in no particular order): 1. Emma of Normandy - She was Queen consort of England twice, first as second wife to Aethelred the Unready of England, and then second wife to Cnut the Great of Denmark. Two of her sons, one by each husband, and two stepsons, also by each husband, became kings of England, as did her great-nephew, William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy. She was a truly fascinating woman. 2. Eleanor of Aquitaine - A Duchess of Aquitaine in her own right, she first married Louis VII, King of France with whom he had two daughters, and later Henry II of England. She served as Regent during the reign of her son Richard the Lionheart whenever he was absent from the Kingdom (which was pretty much all the time, since he spent only months of his reign in England). 3. Margaret of France - second wife of Edward I of England. Despite being nearly 5 years younger than Edward, their marriage was a very successful and happy one. She had a softening influence on the King and was much loved by the people. 4.Catherine of Aragon - she was first married to Arthur, Prince of Wales (Henry VII's elder son), then Henry VIII (Arthur's younger brother). She was much loved by the people and was a loyal companion for Henry. Their marriage, which appeared to be quite successful for nearly 20 years, didn't produce male heirs, which resulted in Henry's attempts to divorce her; as a consequence of Pope's refusal to do grant a divorce, Henry broke ties with Rome and established the Church of England. Catherine was a very intelligent and decisive woman; had she been Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon's eldest daughter, Spain would have had a remarkable Queen Regnant. 5. Anne Boleyn - Henry VIII's second wife, she is often named the most influential Queen Consort in English history. Smart, beautiful and willful, she gave birth to one of the greatest Monarchs - Elizabeth I. 6. Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen - William IV's wife, she was a miner German Princess who nevertheless managed to win the hearts of British people. She was very close to her niece Victoria, although like King William, resented Victoria's mother (who was openly rude to her). 7. Queen Alexandra (Edward VII's consort) 8. Queen Mary of Teck (George V's consort) 9. Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother (George VI's consort).
