It has been suggested that Cnut received tribute from the Scots for Lothian, but as he had likely received none from the Bernician Earls this is not very probable.
Állítólag Knut sarcot kapott a skótoktól Lothian fejében, de – mivel a berniciai grófoktól aligha kaphatott bármit is – ez kevéssé valószínű.
