It's not actual history, you know. There never was a King of Denmark called Claudius (that's a Roman name). The story in Saxo Grammaticus, the ultimate source of the story, is about a king called Horvendil and his queen Geruth. Horvendil is killed by his brother Feng, but he is avenged by his son Amleth. All this was supposed to happen in Viking times, but it is not exactly clear when. Around 700-800 A.D. one suspects.
Shakespeare does not follow Saxo's story particularly closely, although there are interesting parallels.
