What was the sword they focused on in the end?

The sword read "Ananizapta"

Dr. Karl thinks that the meaning of the whole formula is:

Jesus Christ defeated death (the devil)
by being baptized by John
and by dying on the cross ("chiasmus").

Link about Ananizapta meaning

The guy didn't seem like he was in England during the scene. I wonder if he's connected to the Vatican or the Holy Roman Empire or even some sort of "Holy Warrior" similar to the Knights Templar.

Is it possible that the Vikings are now about to clash with the Holy Roman Empire/Pope or Templar's?

Side note, Dat battle scene was awesome
