Due to king Ethelred having been so inept, Canute was accepted as king by a large section of the country after his death. Canute ruled most of the country north of the Thames whilst Edmund was accepted in the South. Canute laid siege to London and wished to control it with his fleet but his ships could not pass London Bridge, so he had a cutting made on the south side of the bridge and passed his ships around it. Edmund marched on London through the woods at Tottenham and a fierce battle ensued. Canute withdrew and fought Edmund at Ashington in Essex but this time Edmund was beaten. Canute was wise and knew that Edmund was popular so he met him on an island in the Severn near Deerhurst and it was agreed that Edmund should rule Wessex and Canute would rule the land north of the Thames, including London. Just after this Edmund was murdered and Canute became king of the whole country.Koning in 1016.
