British Isles, 1000 A.D.

The British Isles, c. 1000 A.D.
The death of Hrein the Great saw the division of his Anglish realms between his two sons, Aki and Thorlak. A third son, Eyvar, was appointed the Overlord of Ireland, tasked with ensuring continued tribute from the petty Kings there.
This event also triggered other political changes around the Isles. The Skots of the Northwestern Isles and the Cornish in the Southwest both breathed sighs of relief, as their realms were no longer targets for expansion by Hrein. The Welsh petty Kings, believing the truce between them and Hrein not applicable to his seed, resumed raiding the Anglish lands near their borders, becoming a thorn in Aki's side. The Picts, united out of fear of Hrein, began to turn into internal squabbling, preventing High King Unust from taking advantage of the change in the political situation.
