Who on Earth has called it "House of Knýtlinga" besides Wikipedia? I find no instances of such a name on Google Books. I thought the substitution of "Cnut" for "Canute" was stupid enough, but it absolutely pales compared to this. "Knýtlinga" is a genitive plural form, it already means "OF THE Knýtlings", i.e. of Canute's descendants, or the "Canutids". "The House OF OF the Knytlings"? What's next, will Gaul be "the country of the Gallorum"? Will the lays of Sigurd and Gudrun be "Lays of Sigurðar and Guðrúnar", and the Sagas of the Icelanders become "Sagas of the Íslendinga"? This is just not how names in case languages are rendered in English. Whatever happened to Wikipedia's practice of using the most established names, or is it that a new and especially ignorant generation of Wikipedians has taken over?--95.42.29.86 (talk) 02:58, 5 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
