History

At the Battle of Hastings in England, On October 14, 1066, King Harold II (1022-66) of England was defeated by the French-Norman forces of the Duke of Normandy, William the Conqueror (1028-87). By the end of the bloody, all-day battle, Harold was dead and his forces were destroyed. He was the last Anglo-Saxon king of England, as the battle changed the course of history. Fast forward near a thousand years, in 1999, young Nicholas Klaus was vacationing in England, and after a night of partying, teenaged Klaus stumbled unto the field at Hastings, and the spirit of King William I, William the Conqueror himself, appeared before the young Klaus, and charged him with a sacred mission. Immediately upon returning to Toronto, Canada, he informed his comrade, drummer Bas von Bismark, of his sacred vision, and the holy mission they had to embark. After a decade of searching and studying ancient parchments, manuscripts, and books, in 2019, The Klaus and von Bismark decoded a cipher from ‘Napoleon’s Book of Fate and Oreculum’, and Steve “The Immortal Highlander” MacLeod was summoned, and with his bloody six string Ax leading the charge, The Klaus and von Bismark set out on the conquering chapter of their ordained cause!
