Bonus points if you do it from one of the last two maps.
 
I'm basically asking for a sensible scenario to get from maps 1-3 to the last map.
I mean I suppose some extra context is needed here:

How many settlements are still Norse or have they all been Gaelicized?

Has England claimed the High Kingship, and if yes, how far have Normans gone?

Or are those supposed to be "states" of a united Ireland?

The black exclaves are the remaining major Norse settlements. There may be others but they are up to you. This is around the 950 so the Normans are yet a major political force in the isles. The blue 'states' are the major native Irish kingdoms. They are independent but as in reality, this would be called a simplified map at best.

Thanks for the clarification; Honestly considering how chaotic Ireland was at the time you probably could write a timeline where you go from any of the first 3 images to the last one with no one commentating on implausibility unless you do something absolutely ridiculous like having someone Centralize everything into an actual Kingdom with no struggles or constant rebellions to enforce authority painfully over multiple generations.

That does make it much easier. Thanks. I actually got an idea for a long term centralisation of the any Kingdom.

I have a side question though of could a European dynasty survive from the middle age to the modern age with a relatively unbroken succession record?

I mean, considering that England has a comparatively clean succession since 1066 when compared with most European countries, or Japan which has had the same dynasty since BC, it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility.

That knock's out two questions. Thanks

The only one left is whether the possibility of an absolute or a 'semi-absolute' monarchical style of governance would be possible in the modern day.

Like Saudi Arabia style?

With a pod so far back, almost anything is possible.
