Knute's Strategy and the Establishment of Scandinavian Presence in London

This chapter discusses Knute's focus on establishing a significant Scandinavian presence in London. It explores how he deliberately planted his flag in the city despite the mutual antagonism between him and the Londoners. Knute's aggressive posture towards the city extended to secular and religious matters, as he seized lands belonging to the Bishop of London and broke the economic power of the bishopric.
