He was never in favor of Viking exploration, and was even against his son's expedition to the New World. He did not approve of his son's marriage to Ingigerd of Norway, who had been a Christian from birth. However, during his reign, England became the most powerful nation in Europe, and his son's expedition to the New World became one of the greatest naval expeditions in history, which led to England controlling the entire Atlantic Ocean.

He is a renowned warrior, and is portrayed by Søren Pilmark.
