Actually, the relatively recent find of a coin in Sweden and minted there
indicates that the Swedes were acknowledging him as overlord, I think the
term is yfirkonungr. I'm not sure if I've seen a photo of the coin or
not and don't remember the precise legend. Knut claimed Sweden was under
his rule at the time but scholars had doubted the claim until this find.
