Canute , of course, was a Danish Viking prince who conquered England uniting England with Denmark who was regarded by his courtiers to be all powerful.

He attempted to teach his couriers the limitations of secular power in the face of nature , by having his throne placed in the face of an incoming tide at the Wash....the tide came in despite his commands and he and his throne had to be withdrawn.

Harland Bluetooth ( King Canute's grandfather) was a pagan( by modern logic a race) who by converting to Christianity changed his race.

Harland Bluetooth's father , Gorm , was evidently of race A and his son changed from race A to race B by switching his belief system....odd how genetics works.
