"Cnut"? edit
Why does the article spell the name as "Canute" and "Cnut" in places. The lead does not mention, alternate spellings? AshLin (talk) 08:11, 29 November 2014 (UTC)
- I don't know. My guess is that Cnut is the spelling of the actual king (Cnut the Great), while Canute was the spelling used in the fictional story. Perhaps someone can confirm that or explain why the spelling changed. It would make sense to explain it in the article. RobinLampert (talk) 01:47, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
References in Popular Culture edit
Should there be a section on references to King Canute in popular culture? There is a section on "Proverbial reference", but that seems a bit narrower. I've run across references in the Downton Abbey series, the novel Me Before You (5th paragraph of chapter 8) and somewhere else that I can't recall. RobinLampert (talk) 01:47, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
The Gilded Age Season 1 Ep. 2 on HBO
There is an article already. $tatic (talk) 13:34, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Proposed page move edit
I propose that the page be moved to King Cnut and the tide, with this page remaining as a redirect. This would mirror the king's own page, which is at Cnut the Great with a redirect at Canute the Great. Do other editors have any objections? ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 18:09, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
Question on the First Citation edit
It appears to me that the first citation is the specific line in latin that describes Canute and not a citation to the work the line come from. If this is the case, is this not an incomplete citation? Keenan.Churchill (talk) 21:36, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
