Ulf's assistance to Cnut at the Battle …
Years: 1026 - 1026
December
Ulf's assistance to Cnut at the Battle of the Helgeå has not caused Cnut to forgive Ulf for his coup.
At a banquet in Roskilde, the two brothers-in-law are playing chess and start arguing with each other.
The next day, Christmas of 1026, Cnut has one of his housecarls kill Earl Ulf in Trinity Church, the predecessor of Roskilde Cathedral.
Accounts are contradictory, however.
Ulf is the father of Sweyn Estridson, and thus the progenitor of the House of Estridsen, which will rule Denmark from 1047 to 1375, and which is also sometimes, specially in Swedish sources, referred to as the Ulfinger dynasty to honor him.
