Earth 763 Timeline Part IV: High Middle Ages

1066 CE-In exchange for his soul, Mephisto gives William the Conqueror the power he needs to best the English at the Battle of Hastings. The Normans thusly go on to conquer England, beginning what are traditionally thought of as the High Middle Ages. However, the loss of William's soul turns him into a brutal warlord who, in later years responds to resistance to his up-to-that point mild rule with shocking brutality and force.

1096 CE-The First Crusade begins

1099 CE-The First Crusade ends

1170 CE-Bennet du Paris is born

1191 CE-During the Third Crusade Bennet's Mutant powers manifest. Frightened by his powers and believing that he has been cursed by God, Bennet flees into the desert. There he is found by Apocalypse and convinced to join his cause. Some time between now and the 21st century, he takes the name "Exodus".

1197 CE-Loki cuts off Sif's blonde hair as a spiteful prank. Afterwards feeling remorse, he has made for her new raven hair, which only enhances her beauty and doubles her number of admirers. It also, incidentally, intensifies Loki's own lustful feelings towards her.

Author's Note: Exodus is an actual character from 616, and his powers did indeed originate during the time of the Crusades. The main difference with my version is that here he is affiliated with Apocalypse, whereas in the comics he was more often affiliated with Magneto.
