1103
West Scandinavia - Eric I dies on pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Harald IV Kesja succeeds him - but only just - he defeats Niels I in a close battle. The battle ensures the division of the Estridsson kingdoms as Harald has his cousins and uncles promise they will have no designs on Denmark and he will have no designs on any land as long as an Estridsson rules it.

Ireland - Magnus II Barefoot campaigns in Ireland. Receives several kings' fealty and reaffirms Dublin's independent status defeating the king of Munster in battle. His activities leaves Dublin in an awkward state - who are their ultimate overlords - the king of Leinister or of Hordaland?

1115
Hordaland - Eystein I dies. He has created a stable and prosperous Hordaland with strong ties to the Estridsson kingdoms. Sigurd I the Crusader takes control of Hordaland but apparently has more time for The Isles allowing the Earl of Lade much more freedom.

1125
Svealand - Inge II dies. Niels I's son Magnus Nielsson is the next heir of Svealand.

1129

Passamaquoddy and Abernaki help settle and pacify the new territory of Álengiamark. The town of St Hafdiss (OTL New Haven) is raised and, due to its distance from Isafjordhur, an Althing set up. Álengiamark is divided into 44 counties. 16 Norse, 2 Cornish, 7 Quiripi, 6 Pequot, 5 Mohegan and 8 Wampanoag.

The Wampanoag, Quiripi and Pequot are baptised en masse.

1130

1131
Vinland - Snaedis I dies. Hafdis II is crowned Queen of Vinland, Eikland and Markland. Elisiv is crowned Queen of Álengiamark and Magna Leifia (The Magna Leifia title is meant to make up for lack of population and the lack of natural defensive borders, though in actuality means little).

Tawantinland - Vinlandic explorers hugging the coast reach Tawantinland.

1137

Leifia - Third Wampanoag War. The King of the Passamaquoddy dies without a clear heir leaving the Northern Wampanoag free to march on Quispamis. The siege is lifted by Elisiv (sources record her actually leading troops into battle on horseback wielding a mace). Elisiv and Hafdis II are present at the coronation of the new king. The Passamaquoddy alliance is strengthened by marriage between Elisiv and Hadfis's brother and the new king's daughter.

1139
Hordaland - Magnus III Sigurdsson dies invading Svealand with Magnus I Nielsson. His cousins are receiving Svealand's help in their bid for Hordaland.

Ingolfurseyers find silver in Northern Passamaquoddy territory.

1145
Leifia - Vinlandic traders bring various foodstuffs from the lands to the south to the North Eastern Queendoms including the potato, squash, Ishtak birds (OTL Turkeys) and dried chili. While potatoes and squashes soon spread amongst the farming communities chili becomes worth its weight in gold.

1146
Denmark - Bjorn I dies. His cousin Canute V Lavard succeeds him. His previous position as Duke of Schleswig allows him to extend Denmark's possessions southwards but only pushes the country further into the orbit of the Holy Roman Empire.

1158
Orkney - Harald Maddadsson becomes sole Earl of Orkney after defeating and killing his rivals. His rule is long but mired in a deep dispute between his lands and their nominal overlords, Scotland and Hordaland. Generally Harald supports any and all of the King of Scotland's enemies.

1170
Wessex - Henry I dies. Succeeded by his son Edmund III who again, is heavily invested in Normandy. One of his first acts is to send Wessex troops to help Normandy conquer Maine. However the troops are ill-disciplined and the intervention only stirs up bitterness with France.

1173

1182
Denmark - Valdemar I dies. He has extended Danish power to Pomerania and the Wends but falls short of Christianising them. He is succeeded by Canute VI.

Álengiamark - Elin I dies. She has no children and no clear heir. Álengiamark threatens to descend into civil war. The Althing at St Hafidss petitions Isafjordhur for mediation. It picks Elin II (Elin I's second niece). Elin's brother the Earl of Margirhaedeyja (OTL Manhattan Island) begins to look towards the west for possible expansion, asking the Althing for excessive taxes, and tries to ferment trouble on the border between Álengiamark and the Unami.

France - Paris is besieged by Flemish and Brabant forces while Orleans is ravaged by Sancerre. Maine revolts against Normandy.

1183
Britannia - Anglia is invaded by Wessex forces, in an attempt to aid their Norman and French allies. The siege of Lincoln is only lifted when Man and Orkney begin an opportunistic invasion of Mercia. However London falls.

Man occupies Lancaster (only partly with Anglia's permission) which is under rebellion and as a base for further incursions southwards.

Álengiamark - Álengiamark Civil War. The Earl of Margirhaedeyja's heavy handed tactics ostracise the Earl of Langaeyjar. With help from the Eastern Isles he moves his own daughter Thorey I (Elin I's third neice) to the throne. Elin II goes into exile with the Passamaquoddy.

1184
Denmark - Emperor Frederick demands Canute VI acknowledge him as overlord of Denmark but Canute refuses. As a result Denmark is invaded by Pomerania. The invasion is defeated however.

France - Normandy switches sides with the death of its duke. Paris finally falls. By the Treaty of Compiegne France directly under the French king is reduced once more to the Ile de Paris and Orleanais. The territory of Flanders, Normandy, Maine and Sancerre are all restored. While many Counties and Duchies continue to pay fealty to the French king, most of the North is lost for now. Anglia accepts the loss of London but is paid a substantial premium for it.

Álengiamark - Thorey is in turn deposed by the Earl of Sudervik and his daughter Asthudur I. Thorey goes into exile in Iceland.

1185
Pomerania - Pomerania is invaded and subjected to Danish rule, pulling it out of the German sphere. Canute marries Count Bugislaw's daughter cementing the Danish hold. A separate Sorbian dukedom to the south is fostered as a further bulwark.

Viken - Niels II dies. His cousin, the future Harold III of Anglia, is briefly considered by the nobles to succeed. Instead his half-sister Hildegard of Rugia succeeds in Viken. The local Viken lords do not want an over-mighty king getting in their way. The Ranish of Rugia have only just converted to Christianity but are nominal Danish subjects. They have already been inviting many Gothenlanders to settle on their island.

Britannia - The armies of Man are pushed out of Mercia.

1187
Svealand - Cnut I Eriksson builds a castle at Stockholm to hold the Svealand coast against Baltic raids.

1188
Viken - Under pressure, Hildegard abdicates in favour of her 8 year old son Wizlaw I. He is quite happy for the Viken lords to exercise power at home but uses Viken's resources to build up the Principality of Rugia. He assists Denmark in their attempts to pacify and control Pomerania. The new abbey of Bergen becomes a respected centre of learning and gives it a bit of leeway when dealing with church v state matters. During his long reign Rugia triples in size as it takes portions of mainland Pomerania.

Wessex - Edmund III dies. Succeeded by his daughter Matilda I.

Álengiamark - Asthudur I dies. Elin II is recalled and crowned once more. A reconciliation between Langaeyjar and Sudervik is brokered. The Earl of Kyreyjar travels to Denmark (taking his cousin Thorey I of Álengiamark to the court to argue her case). There he joins the 3rd Crusade.

1197
Saaremaa - Canute VI crusades in Estonia. An often besieged dukedom is setup on the island of Osel under Canute's nephew Magnus.

Leifia - The Leifian Civil War. Elin II dies and with no other legitimate heirs the crown reverts to Iofridr. St Hafdiss rebels and chooses half-Quiripi princess Yrsa I as their queen. Iofridr's armies slowly advance (using some of the tactics the Earl of Kyreyjar has picked up in Europe and Palestine) and defeat Yrsa I's forces. However it is hard going, the tribes that make up Álengiamark's Skraeling population generally support Yrsa and are adept at using the terrain. The Passamaquoddy offer no help, they are unwilling to see a unified state on both their eastern and southern borders. They are lucky to get away without being invaded.

1198
North Atlantic - Haakon V Haraldsson's rule is accepted in the Faroe Islands, but they retain the right to elect their own thing.

Anglia - Marriage adds Hainaut into the growing Anglian realm.

Wessex - Matilda I marries Theobold VI of Blois and they rule together.

1199
Leifia - Yrsa I is captured and executed. Iofridr is finally crowned in St Hafdiss. Very limited attempts to unify the queendoms are made and are eventually abandoned in the threat of another civil war. Iofridr promises to split the realm and sends her older daughter Eydis to be her regent.
