Sweyn Forkbeard (Sweyn I)(959-1014 AD) was king of Denmark, part of Norway, and briefly king of England. Initially king of Denmark and parts of Normway, Swyen engaged in repeated raids of the English coast in response to St. Brice's Day Massacre in which many Danes including his sister were killed. Sweyn later invaded England, but only ruled England for a few weeks before his death.
