-His Serene Highness, '''[[Prince Christopher]]''', formerly '''King Christopher''', was the ruler of the [[Kingdom of Vikesland]], a 400+ acre former [[micronation]] located in Manitoba, Canada. The Prince 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.
+'''[[Apsley Cherry-Garrard]]''' was an English explorer of [[Antarctica]]. He was a member of the Terra Nova Expedition and is acclaimed for his historical account of this expedition, ''The Worst Journey in the World''.
-On 12 December 2019, after several months of speculation that the former king would be offered a title, the Grand Duke issued Letters Patent elevating Christopher to the rank of noble prince with the title Prince Christopher, Duke of Hudson. His title is derived from the [[Hudson Mountains]].
+At the age of 24, 'Cherry' was one of the youngest members of [[Robert Falcon Scott]]'s Terra Nova expedition (1910–13). This was Scott's second and last expedition to [[Antarctica]]. Cherry's application to join the expedition was initially rejected as Scott was looking for scientists, but he made a second application along with a promise of £1,000 (2009 approximation £50,000) towards the cost of the expedition. Rejected a second time, he made the donation regardless. Struck by this gesture, and at the same time persuaded by Dr Edward 'Bill' Wilson, Scott agreed to take Cherry-Garrard as assistant zoologist.
