It would take about 200 years for the Welsh to be conquered by the Normans/Plantagenates, and they weren't pacified until the mid-late 1400s.
Scotland managed to hold the Norse in the islands for over 400 years before conqouring them
Ireland was a society thus:
Each small area (for example Dublin) was ruled by a Chief or King
Each of these Kings would pay alliegence to the Kings of Leinster, Munster, Connaught, Meath or Ulster
These greater Kings sought to become High King of Ireland, usually only a very strong King could be secure.
The Danes did rule England at one point: Canute, who ruled the whole of England, as well as Denmark, 200 years after Alfred. Alfred himself never ruled all England, that would be the honour of his grandson Athelstan.
Other than that, welcome to the site. Don't worry about the critisism, I had the same thing. The basic idea is plausible, just tone down some of the details a bit. A Viking England in the 800s will change much. Particularly one which will probably remain so until at least the 1100s.
