Knute's Ruling Style and Administrative Structure in Denmark and England
Knute is praised for his skillful ruling and his ability to learn from the administrative structures in England, which he brings to Denmark. He establishes a centralized and cosmopolitan rule in England, employing English experts to mint coins, teach administrative systems, and establish Christian centers. In Denmark, he curtails the influence of the German Empire and focuses on forming alliances with disaffected nobles. Knute's transnational approach shapes his northern empire and demonstrates his keen ability to adapt and learn from different cultures.
