#REDIRECT [[Prince Christopher]]
His Majesty, '''King Christopher''', formerly '''Prince Christopher''', and also known as '''Christopher Beyette''', was the ruler of the [[Kingdom of Vikesland]], a 400+ acre former [[micronation]] located in Manitoba, Canada.


==Ancestry==
King Christopher is descended from the Noble houses of France in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, notably Guillaume, Seigneur de la Paumeliere and Guillaume II, Seigneur de Nevi. His ancestors were French Lords before they were deposed during the Massacre of Huguenots in 1572 and fled to Holland. He is currently seeking reinstatement of the Noble title of his ancestors.


Christopher is also a blood relative of Louis Riel, great leader of the Metis nation and founding father of Manitoba. Louis Riel was wrongfully hanged for treason when he lead the Metis people to form a new government as the Canadian government was tyrannical in its dealings with the Metis people. He lead the rebellion of 1885 at the battle of Batoche and lost. The wrongful hanging of Riel has implications even today, and there is a possibility the Canadian government of today may overturn the charges of treason and clear his name.
