Notes - Probably more correctly spelled Cnut.
"Cnut died at Shaftesbury on 12 November 1035 and was buried in the Old Minster, Winchester, perhaps near the relics of St Swithun. His bones, together with those of other pre-conquest monarchs, were later transferred into the new cathedral built by the Normans, and in 1642 were removed from the chest in which they lay and scattered by parliamentarian troops. In 1661 they are said to have been placed in two new receptacles, which are among the six mortuary chests still to be seen in the cathedral. However, it is hardly surprising that examination of all the chests has shown their contents to be thoroughly jumbled: there is now no way of knowing whether Cnut's bones survive in Winchester, and if so which they are."
