Please note that Lady Jane Grey has been left off the list as she was proclaimed but never crowned; I hope this omission isn't as hotly-disputed as Jane's reign was! King Harthacnut was the last Danish king to rule England.
The son of King Canute, his reign as English king might have been short but it is worth noting that he was King of Denmark in the five years prior to him becoming King of England.
Harthacnut's name translated as 'Tough Knot' in Danish but his reign as ruler of four European territories - he also briefly ruled Norway - soon unravelled as he struggled to hold on to his father's possession. He was, by all accounts, not a popular King. The English were used to be being ruled by council and did not take to the Danish King's autocratic style or harsh taxation system.
Harthacnut died at a wedding in Lambeth - one which was not his own; he was unmarried and had no children. His final words came as he raised a drink to toast the health of the bride.

When Matilda came to London in June for the coronation, the city rose up against her and she and her supporters barely got out alive. In November, Stephen was released and resumed his reign. Let this be a cautionary tale that leaving your brother responsible for your only two heirs is not a good idea. When Edward IV died, the crown passed to his eldest son, Edward V, who was only twelve years old at the time.
Eventually, the boys seemed to disappear altogether and are presumed to have been murdered by Richard to seal his claim. When Edward the Confessor died, Edgar as his great-nephew was the only living familial successor. Ultimately fleeing England and living in exile, Edgar reigned for just 63 days.
