Sweyn Forkbeard Coloring Page

Sweyn was the son of Harald Bluetooth, who is the king that gave his name to Bluetooth technology. His nickname, Forkbeard, probably comes from the look of his beard. He took over Denmark and added parts of Norway.

He raided England for years, and in 1013 he sailed in with a large army. The English king Æthelred fled to Normandy, and Sweyn was declared king of England. He died only about five weeks later, and his son Cnut took over the story.
