Years: 1016 - 1016
Cnut, supported by the capricious mercenary Thorkell and by another great warrior, Erik, Earl of Hlathir, the pro-Danish ruler of the Trondelag, had returned late in 1015, wintering at Poole Harbor and marching north in the spring to take control of Northumbria.
Bedfordshire, a region in England’s southern Midlands drained by the Great Ouse River and settled first by the Romans, then the Anglo-Saxons, is first mentioned in 1016 when King Cnut lays waste to the whole shire.
