Knud Pedersen Porse or Canute Porse (died 30 May 1330) was a medieval Danish nobleman and Duke of Samsø, Duke of Halland, and Duke of Estonia. [1]
Biography
Porse was the son of Peder Porse, one of several Danish nobleman who were involved in the murder of King Eric V of Denmark and thus exiled since 1286 together with his family. [2]
On 21 June 1327, Porse married Norwegian princess Ingeborg Haakonsdatter (1301–1361), daughter of King Haakon V of Norway (1270–1319). She was also Duchess of Södermanland by her first marriage to Swedish prince Eric Magnusson, Duke of Södermanland (1282–1318). Through her first marriage, she was the mother of King Magnus IV of Sweden (1316–1374) and of Euphemia of Sweden (1317–1370) wife of Albert II, Duke of Mecklenburg. [3] [4]
Following his marriage to Ingeborg, Porse became the duke of her domains in Halland and Samsø. In 1329, her authority was extended to the Duchy of Estonia, but Knud Porse died during the following year. Together Knud Porse and Ingeborg Haakonsdatter had two children: [5]

- Knud Knudsen Porse, Duke of Halland (died 1350)
