    King Canud became very important to Odense when he ruled the country from 1080 to 1086. Aelnoth's Chronicle from around 1120 tells the story of the king, who was murdered by rebellious peasants in St. Albani's Church on July 10, 1086, during a turbulent period in the country's history.

    After his death, Canud was canonized and given the name Canud the Holy.

    His remains are located in the crypt of the cathedral, which also bears his name, St. Canud's Church.

    The bronze statue stands where the former St. Albani's Church once stood.
