St. Canute Lavard around the Baltic Sea

Section of Church History

Abstract

This chapter discusses the Baltic Sea-area manifestations of the cult of the Danish Royal saint, Canute the Duke, in Danish, Knud Lavard, during the Middle Ages. It also applies theories of cultural memory by Jan and Aleida Assmann in order to approach an understanding of how the cult of St. Canute was culturally re-functionalized in Denmark in the sixteenth century, but not in any similar way in other areas around the Baltic Sea.
