Holding onto my kingdom proved to be a lot trickier than building it. The rebellion was crushed, but only a few turns later the whole kingdom imploded as nobles rose up against his heir. In the battle to reclaim it, the king died carving a path to the heart of the settlement.

The Vikings might not always get along, but when the Gaels rise up against them, you'd better believe they team up, or at least get pressed into service by the most powerful king.
