Which of these two men became king of England has much to do with Cnut's wider territory, but Harald was accepted by the English (because Harthacnut was in Denmark) and then when he died in 1040, Harthacnut became king. 16/
Edward came back from exile and became king in 1042 following Harthacnut's death against a background of complex Scandinavian politics and treaties. 17/
