English: Illustration of the Cnut and the Waves episode by Alphonse-Marie-Adolphe de Neuville
Svenska: Kung Knut ogillade smicker. När hans hovmän sade att de trodde att han kunde göra vad som helst tillrättavisade han dem och sade åt dem att komma med till stranden, där han befallde det stigande vattnet att sjunka tillbaka. När det inte lydde honom vände han sig till hovmännen och sade: "Se hur svag värlsdliga kungars makt är. Ingen är värdig kunganamnet förutom Han som himlen och jorden och havet lyder." |
