Empire of Scandinavia formed.
The holdings in Spain (and one in Italy, the light blue spot to the NE) are all conquered by vassals, I was busy taking all of Scandinavia so I could form the Empire.
Norse kingdoms usually have elective monarchies, which means when you gather several crowns it is very hard to keep them together.
The de Jure kingdoms in the Scandinavian Empire now are:
- Galicia
- Norway
- Sweden
- Lapland
- Finland
- England
- Denmark
I have not tried playing a sneaky/diplomatic playstyle. So far it's been 100% martial/war focus.
I also left the decision planel open.
You can see I've gotten a "Dismantle the Papacy" decision which isn't doable yet. This is because I am a non-christian religion holding territory in Italy. In order to complete this I must conquer all of Italy.
Before I had that small Italian holding, this decision was not on my list.
LIkewise the "Restore the Danelaw" is because I am a norse character.
The Alban remains in Scandinavia are actually what was left of Sweden after I conquered the Kingdom of Sweden (which gave me all the swedish de jure holdings, not the foreign ones).
Sweden at that time also held Ireland and it's spanish holdings (and others dotted around Europe except Scotland).
Once I usurped the Swedish Kingdom title, what was left of Sweden became Ireland. And then Alba subjegated Ireland
