Harald Bluetooth (r. c. 958 - c. 985): The son of Gorm the Old, he continued the Christianization of Denmark and expanded Danish influence into Norway and parts of modern-day Germany.
Sweyn Forkbeard (r. c. 985 - 1014): A formidable Viking king who conquered England in 1013, briefly becoming the King of England before his death in 1014.
Canute the Great (r. 1018- 1035): Sweyn Forkbeard's son, he successfully ruled over an expansive North Sea empire that included Denmark, Norway, and England.
Magnus the Good (r. 1042 - 1047): After Canute the Great's death, he became the King of Denmark and Norway, maintaining the union between the two kingdoms.
Sweyn II Estridsson (r. 1047 - 1076): A descendant of Gorm the Old, he faced challenges from Norway and the Holy Roman Empire during his long reign as King of Denmark.
