What If Canute's North Sea Empire Survived? | Alternate History

In the year 1028 Danish Viking, Canute the Great, had successfully united the realms of Norway, Denmark, and Saxon England under his kingship. The resulting union has come to be known as Canute's Empire, or the North Sea Empire, though regardless of what you call it, chances are few will have heard of it, as despite the tremendous potential this almost empire held, it fractured almost immediately upon Canute's passing. Why did the North Sea Empire collapse? Could it have survived? What if Canute's North Sea Empire survived? We'll be answering those questions in today's video, covering both the history and alternate history of this Viking Empire that almost existed.
