Denmark is threatened by Norway and Sweden in the 1020s, and Cnut decides in 1026 to strengthen its defenses by bringing over his eight-year-old son to be the future king under a council headed by his brother-in-law, Earl Ulf.
However, Ulf alienates Cnut by getting the Danish provinces to acknowledge Harthacnut as king without reference to Cnut's overall authority and by failing to take vigorous measures to meet Norwegian and Swedish invasions, instead waiting for Cnut's assistance.
