It's the year 1066 in England and the three veteran assassins, Edward Thorne, John Blackburne and Avery Dunne, are on a mission to recover weapons from the templars. They return to their hideout safely, but see their fellow assassins mumbling when high commanding assassin, Arthur Crawford, speaks the truth: King Edward had passed away. This gets the three assassins thinking that even though this could bring a new era to England, Edward had no heir making the new king's identity unknown. Days later, the Earl of Wessex, Harold Godwinson is crowned king. This brought doubt into the brotherhood and Crawford sent Thorne and Blackburne to gather information on why was Harold crowned king. On a feast night, they sneaked into the castle and looked for letters sent by Edward and found that he promised the throne to two more rulers. Over the course of the following weeks, Harold was challenged by those two powerful leaders: Duke William and Harald Hardrada. Without being able to get to an agreement with Harold, both William and Harald started assembling troops. Meanwhile, Crawford sends Avery to East Anglia to meet with Earl Edwin and Earl Morcar who saw an incoming attack from Harold's brother, Tostig. They fought with everything they had and ultimately won the battle making Tostig fall back. After this, and several previous failed attacks, Tostig was forced to escape to Scotland, but Avery decides to go against his superior's command, and goes after him.
