This week's tune is brought to you by our friend Runes. In today's show we discuss Rebellion's 2005 Viking metal song Canute the Great (King of Danish Pride). The historicity of the Viking king known as Cnut and his unifying of the kingdoms of Denmark and England into an ocean spanning proto-empire follows. Vikingbros rejoice!
