  === Life Sketch ===
  Canute V Magnussen (Danish: Knud V Magnussen) (c. 1129 – 9 August 1157) was a King of Denmark from 1146 to 1157, as co-regent in shifting alliances with Sweyn III and Valdemar I. Canute was killed at the so-called Bloodfeast of Roskilde in 1157. Nothing certain is known about his person and character.
  
  Canute was born around 1129, the son of King Niels' son Magnus the Strong. After the abdication of Eric III in 1146, the magnates of Jutland declared Canute king, while the magnates of Zealand and Scania crowned Sweyn III,[2] the nephew of Canute Lavard who Magnus had killed in 1131.
  
  In the following years, Canute tried in vain to defeat Sweyn III on Zealand for complete control over Denmark. In 1147, Canute and Sweyn united to undertake the Wendish Crusade, which however ended in the re-ignition of their strife. Sweyn and his cousin Duke Valdemar, the son of Canute Lavard, defeated Canute in Jutland in 1150, and Canute fled to his father-in-law Sverker I of Sweden. Canute attempted a number of reconquests, all of them unsuccessful, and turned to Frederick Barbarossa for help. The resulting compromise of 1152, which was supported by Valdemar, made Canute the inferior co-regent of Sweyn. However, Sweyn decided not to effectuate the deal.
  
  Canute now formed an alliance with Valdemar and Sverker, whose daughter Helena Canute was to marry. Sweyn fled Denmark in 1154, and Canute struck a deal with Valdemar, making him his co-ruler. Canute was an inferior king to Valdemar, and after Sweyn's re-entry into Denmark, a final compromise was struck in 1157, under pressure from the Danish magnates. Sweyn, Canute, and Valdemar were set up as co-rulers, with Canute ruling Zealand. During the peace banquet in Roskilde on 9 August 1157, later known as the Bloodfeast of Roskilde, Sweyn attempted to kill both Canute and Valdemar. Canute was allegedly killed by one of Sweyn's warriors.
  
  Canute's half-sister Sofia of Minsk married Valdemar, who avenged him the same year by killing Sweyn at the Battle of Grathe Heath to win Denmark for himself.
  
  Issue
  Not more than a year before his death, Canute married Helen of Sweden, but they had no children. Canute fathered two or three children out of wedlock.
  
  Saint Niels of Aarhus (died 1180); he lived as monk
  Valdemar; he was Bishop of Schleswig and Prince-Archbishop of Bremen
  Hildegard; she married Jaromar I, Prince of Rugia (possible daughter but uncertain)

   Note: Knud 5. eller Knud Magnussen (født i 1129, død 9. august 1157 i Roskilde) var konge af Danmark 1146-1157. sammen med medkongerne Svend og Valdemar, under borgerkrigen 1146-1157. Knud var søn af Magnus, der var søn af kong Niels. Efter at Erik Lam i 1146 abdicerede, valgte jyderne Knud til konge, mens sjællænderne valgte Svend. Det kom snart efter til krig, og i en periode blev Knud fordrevet til Tyskland, hvor det lykkedes ham at samle en hær. I 1154 bekræftede den tyske konge (senere kejser), Frederik Barbarossa, som Danmarks lensherre, at Svend skulle være enekonge i Danmark, mens Knud skulle have Sjælland som len. I 1154 brød stridighederne ud igen, og denne gang var Knud allieret med Valdemar, der indtil da havde støttet Svend. Det endte denne gang med, at Svend blev fordrevet, men i 1157 vendte han tilbage, og man enedes med den tyske kejser om en tredeling af riget: Valdemar fik Jylland, Knud fik Sjælland og Svend fik Skåne. For at fejre afslutningen på mange års stridigheder indbød Svend sine medkonger til et forsoningsgilde i Roskilde den 9. august 1157. Under måltidet lod Svend sine mænd overfalde Valdemar og Knud. Knud blev dræbt på stedet, mens det lykkedes den sårede Valdemar at flygte. Episoden er siden blevet kendt som Blodgildet i Roskilde. Den 23. oktober samme år mødtes Valdemar og Svend i et kort, men voldsomt slag på Grathe Hede. Det endte med, at Svend flygtede ud i nogle sumpe, hvor han mistede våben og udrustning. Han blev taget til fange og dræbt med et øksehug. Herefter var Valdemar dansk enekonge. Digteren Thor Lange har ved Grågårde i nærheden af Thorning opsat et stenkors på stedet for begivenheden. Ægteskab og børn Han giftede sig i 1156 med en datter af Sverker 1., konge af Sverige (Östergötland). Hendes navn antages enten at være Helena eller Ingegärd. Knud menes at være far til en række børn, men det er ikke sikkert, at nogle af disse er med hans dronning som moderen. Mange af de formodede børn, der angives i forskellige kilder, er dog enten temmelig utroværdige eller slet og ret umulige (kronologisk set eller på anden vis).[1] Af de tilbageværende accepterede, formodede eller mulige børn er der følgende tre: Niels den Hellige (1150–1180). Valdemar (1157–1236); fra 1182 biskop af Slesvig Hildegard af Danmark (født ca. 1157) gift med fyrst Jaromar 1. Kilderangivelser S.
