A Danish England

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.
 
910
Revolts Swept away in both Eire and Danelaw
The High King of Danelaw separate is Kingdom in four great chiefdom(London, Cardiff, Edinburgh and York) and every great chiefdom as several small thanedom.
Th Eirish King manages to unify is Kingdom by installing loyal person in major power.

950

The Revolt is back again and a new Saxon Kingdom is formed: Kingdom of Isle of Man.
This new Kingdom is weak and lack in resources but through a bloddy 3 years war manages to pacify the island

1000

It's the new millenium, and the Brestics start to become a little more french (due to their position) and exchange the raven banner by the fleur de Lis.
The kingdom of Man manage to conquer a new land (previously unpopulated, and another thing they past 50 years building boats) which they baptize Hopeland(OTL Faroe Islands) and transfers the government to their new city there.

1100

In this century the first great separation between Eire and Danelaw, the religion. The Danelaw convert to Christianism granted by a missionaire named Paul (pretty much OTL St.Patrick)
The Eirish also start a new age, the age of colonization and they ocupy new lands, Jarland(Iceland), named by its discover the Jarl of Munster, and they also occupy Redland(Greenland), named by Brike The Red
The Danelaw starts to settle down things and years of peace finally came after the long revolts.
The remaining Saxons of Hopeland continue their existence through Comerce whith Christian Europe, through the North Sea (they are not attacked because they now have god relationships with Danelaw due to religion(St.Paul was Saxon))
 
err...what?
This is celtic Eire and Cornwall?.....very...bizzare. You've diverged into ASB I'm afraid.
 
Yes, I do hate to say it, but what you've proposed jumps about 3 centuries or more in terms of consolidation.

In our timeline, Alfred was just the first step towards unification. It took many more generations to have a viably united Murcia that could extend throughout England.

You have the vikings (foreigners, mind) basically telling the Brits, Anglo-Saxons, and Celts to play nice or else and expecting them to do so within a generation of conquest. Not gonna happen. (And that's just the short-short version.)

While what you're proposing isn't entirely loony, what it needs is a great deal more research, care, and detail.

Cheers, though, and I hope you continue with your dreams and ambitions, not to sound patronizing. I feel it is well worth your imaginative health that you do as you please, and at your own leisure, but there's nothing against some friendly criticism.
 
1220

King Louis VIII of France in an attempt to take the land of the Brestics attacks them but the Prince Normis, the Great, with his army of normans and brestics led a memorable charge at the battle of Rennes In wich he killed the french King. After that he claim the throne to himself and managed to do it, dividing the frank territory in two for him and his ally William II, the warrior.
 
I suggest you start from the beginning and put more detail into the early years. You're trying to do too much at one time. but this is definately an interesting premise. Also, if you need any help in translating, try google translate, and we can correct any problems that it makes.
 
I have a great question

do you want me to continue this timeline or to start a new one

if so i'm open to new ideas for TL (probably it will be the first timeline of my new game )
