Notes
1. Sweyn Forkbeard invaded England in 1009 and when in 1013 Ethelred II fled into exile he was regarded as king.

2. Harold I was originally buried at Westminster Abbey. His step-brother and successor Harthacanute had his body disinterred and thrown in a swamp from where it was later recovered and reburied.
