Saint Knud, also known as Canute Lavard was a Danish prince. Later he was the first Duke of Schleswig and the first border prince who was both a Danish and a German vassal, a position leading towards the historical double position of Southern Jutland. He was killed by his cousin Magnus the Strong, who saw him as a rival to the Danish throne. Canute Lavard was canonized in 1170.
