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.
Activities as King
King Christopher undertook several state visits during his reign as King of Vikesland. His Majesty hosted Grand Duke Travis (while he was King of Calsahara) and visited the Republic of Molossia in 2008. He also attended the Summit of the Three Kings in 2012 and brought a diplomatic delegation to MicroCon 2015.
Personal life
King Christopher was born in Canada and currently resides there still. He was employed as a news videographer and editor for CKX TV in Brandon, owned by CTV Globe media and has since retired that career. He is now a full time filmmaker and has made several short films and one feature film. Currently, he is working on a several film projects under his own film production company: Rebel of Motion Picture.
