100% its King Canute

BINGO!

Canute I, or Canute the Great, in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Saxon_Chronicles) also known as **** (Old Norse (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Norse_language): Knútr inn ríki, Norwegian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegian_language): Knut den mektige, Swedish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_Language): Knut den store, Danish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_language): Knud den Store) (c. 995 – November 12 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_12), 1035 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1035)) was a Viking (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viking) king of England (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England), Denmark (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denmark), Norway (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norway), some of Sweden (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden)[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canute_the_Great#_note-0) (such as the Sigtuna (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigtuna)[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canute_the_Great#_note-1) Swedes), as well as overlord of Pomerania (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomerania), and the Mark (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marches) of Schleswig (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schleswig). He was in treaty with the Holy Roman Emperors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Roman_Emperors), the German kings, Henry II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_II%2C_Holy_Roman_Emperor) and Conrad II (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conrad_II%2C_Holy_Roman_Emperor), suzerain vassals (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vassals) of Rome's pontificate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontificate), and in relations with the papacy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope) himself. His reign, almost two decades long, was over a northern empire spread across Scandinavia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scandinavia) and the British Isles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Isles) and saw the Danish sovereignty (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sovereignty) at its height.
Canute is legendary for his apparent attempt to command the waves. According to legend the king grew tired of flattery from his courtiers. When one such flatterer gushed that Canute was so great he might even command the sea itself, he is supposed to have demonstrated his courtier (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courtier) wrong at either Southampton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southampton#History) or Bosham (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosham), or perhaps near his palace at Westminster (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westminster). When the waves did not turn back at his word, Canute reputedly said that even a king's powers had limits and he removed his crown, refusing to wear it again, for to him there was no true king except God (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God).

Of course you choose a Dane when looking for the ultimate King. From back when Denmark ruled the (known) world! Those were some good times I tell you!
