Around 975, Anglo-Saxon England believed in bad omens through comets, anomalies in the sky to explain and foretell tragic events that come from pillaging and colonization.
200 years before, Vikings had their fair share of history of attacks against England because there was not a united front for the Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms and it took so much societal development before they were able to reclaim their land.

Olaf is unable to maintain his power because he doesn’t know how to politically rule, instead he treated his subjects like he was still a viking. Meanwhile, Cnut thrived because he learned to consolidate his power through marriage and being politically savy.
I think it’s just interesting to observe because it means that brute force and bribery isn’t enough to make a king anymore.

I didn’t think about how skalds have immunity from death in battles since they are considered very important members as witnesses of history. They carry a viking’s legacy and although the period was archaic, the fact that they knew how to preserve their legacy through skalds is such a brilliant and impressive method because it clearly worked.
