and Aulafus, which latter he calleth Eiglafe, were constrained to agree vpon a peace.  The Danish chronicles alledge, that the occasion of this warre rose hereof.  This Olauus aided Cnute (as the same writers report) against king Edmund and the Englishmen.  But when the peace should be made betweene Cnute and Edmund, there was no consideration had of Olauus:  whereas through him the Danes chieflie obteined the victorie.  Herevpon Olauus was sore offended in his mind against Cnute, and now vpon occasion sought to be reuenged.  But what soeuer the cause was of this warre betwixt these two princes, the end was thus:  that Olauus was expelled out of his kingdome, and constreined to flee to Gerithaslaus a duke in the parties of Eastland, and afterward returning into Norwaie, was slaine by such of his subiects as tooke part with Cnute, in manner as in the historie of Norwaie, appeareth more at large, with the contrarietie found in the writings of them which haue recorded the histories of those north [Sidenote:  Magnus Olauus.] regions.

[Sidenote:  Fabian. Polydor. Hen.  Hunt.] But here is to be remembred, that the fame and glorie of the English nation was greatlie aduanced in these warres, as well against the Swedeners as the Norwegians, so that Cnute began to loue and trust the Englishmen much better than it was to be thought he would euer [Sidenote:  Other say, that he went forth of Denmarke to Rome. Simon Dun. Anno 1031. 1032. Wil.  Malm. Matth.  West. 1033.] haue doone.  Shortlie after that Cnute was returned into England, that is to say (as some haue) in the 15 yeare of his reigne, he went to Rome to performe his vow which he had made to visit the places where the apostles Peter and Paule had their buriall, where he was honorablie receiued of pope Iohn the 20 that then held the see.  When he had doone his deuotion there, he returned into England.  In the yeare following, he made a iournie against the Scots, which as [Sidenote:  Scots subdued. Hen.  Hunt. Anno 1035. Wil.  Malm.] then had rebelled; but by the princelie power of Cnute they were subdued and brought againe to obedience:  so that not onelie king Malcolme, but also two other kings Melbeath and Ieohmare became his subiects.  Finallie after that this noble prince king Cnute had [Sidenote:  The death of king Cnute. Hen.  Hunt. Alb.  Crantz.] reigned the tearme of 20 yeares currant, after the death of Ethelred, he died at Shaftsburie, as the English writers affirme, on the 12 of Nouember, and was buried at Winchester.  But the Danish chronicles record that he died in Normandie, and was buried at Rome (as in the same chronicles ye may reade more at large.)
