In the year of the Lord’s Incarnation 1086, in the city of Odense, the glorious king and proto-martyr of the Danes, Canute, because of his zeal for the Christian faith and his works of justice, in the church of Saint Alban the Martyr — whom he himself had shortly before brought from England to Denmark — after confessing his sins and strengthened by the sacrament of the Lord’s body, before the altar with his hands stretched down to the ground in the form of a cross, pierced in the side by a lance, on the sixth day before the Ides of July and on a Friday, suffered death for Christ and rested there in Him. Also killed there with him were his brother, Benedict, both in name and in the grace of martyrdom, and seventeen of his companions-in-arms, namely: Asmund, Blakke, Sweyn, Åge, Thorgaut, Bernhard, Gudmer, Eskild, Toke, Palne, Atte, Sune, Rosten, Milo, Rudolf, another Thorgaut, Vilgrip. And just as by God’s grace they were companions with their king and lord in the suffering of martyrdom, so too shall they rightly share with him in consolation and reward.
