The Murder of Knud the Saint, 1086 (litho)

Image description: The Murder of Knud the Saint, 1086. Knud the Saint, King of Denmark, elevated the position of the clergy to one of great power, which novel reform was not altogether popular. When the king sought to introduce a tax on the people for the sole benefit of ecclesiastics open rebellion broke out in 1086. Knud fled with a few faithful adherents to the church at Odense, where the rebels overtook him. In spite of a brave defence by his two brothers, Knud was assassinated while praying at the altar. Illustration for Hutchinson's History of the Nations (Hutchinson, c.1920). Note: Image has been digitally enhanced to facilitate repro.
