I Just finished writing Cnut's death scene in my current wip. Tried to include the info about the heart, but it just didn't work. Might try to make a mention in the author's note.

I’m spending every morning grinding out a scene set in the 11th century that involves emotional dialogue and political uncertainty. Hopefully it makes sense in the end. #writing
