King Canute the Great was ruler of an empire that included England, Denmark, Norway and parts of Sweden. Legend has it that, tired of hollow flattering from his courtiers, Canute had his throne carried to the seashore in England and sat on it as the tide came in, commanding the waves to advance no further. When they didn't, he had made his point that, though the deeds of kings might appear great in the minds of men, they were as nothing in the face of God's power
