Cevap

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the specific era and group mentioned in the question.
The question asks for a 'Danish king' ruling 'the whole of England' in the 11th century.
This narrows the search to the later Viking period.
2
Differentiate between Anglo-Saxon resistance and Viking governance.
Alfred the Great was Anglo-Saxon and restricted Vikings to the Danelaw; Cnut was Danish and conquered the whole kingdom.
To avoid confusing the king who fought the Vikings with the king who ruled as one.
3
Confirm the historical timeline for unified Danish rule.
King Cnut's reign began in 1016, preceding the Norman Conquest of 1066.
To ensure chronological accuracy against other invasions.
