There were times when England was in union with Scotland (after James I), England was in union with France (contentiously -- during the reign of Henry VI) Spain was in union with England (during the reign of Mary and Philip II), Spain was in union with Portugal (as the Iberian Union, from Kings Philip I through III), and France could have been in union with Spain (after the death of Charles II, sparking -- you guessed it -- the War of the Spanish Succession).

All these things happened separately, and at different times before 1900. Your challenge is to have them all happen -- although probably not in the manner they happened historically -- AT ONCE. A Union of the Crowns of England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, France, Spain, and Portugal. AND you have to have it hold together for more than one king's reign.

Extra points will be accorded if you manage to throw any other kingdoms in there, as well. ;) Snap to it!
