Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the historical period and ethnic group specified in the question.
The question asks for a Danish king during the period following the Viking invasions and the Danelaw.
This narrows the focus to the 11th century before the Norman Conquest.
2
Distinguish between Anglo-Saxon and Danish rulers of that era.
Alfred the Great and Edward the Confessor were Anglo-Saxons; Cnut was Danish.
The question specifically requires a Danish king.
3
Determine which Danish ruler controlled the entire territory of England.
King Cnut secured the throne of all England in 1016.
While Vikings previously held the Danelaw, Cnut was the first to unify the whole country under Danish rule.
