The King of Norway is 73rd in line to the British throne 13 10, 10:27pm

@idunnpil Yes, English people cannot pronounce kn in the beginning of a word even though they have several words spelled that way. So Kong Knud, is King Canute.

I always imagine him trying to explain his name to Englishmen:
- I am Knud
- So you are 'nud?
- No, no, no K-nud...
- Ahh, Canute
