1017-1035 A.D. KING CANUTE AND THE WAVES
The story of King Canute and the waves is an apocryphal anecdote illustrating the piety or humility of
King Canute the Great, recorded in the 12th century by Henry of Huntingdon. In the story, Canute
demonstrates to his flattering courtiers that he has no control over the elements, explaining that
secular power is vain compared to the supreme power of God.
