I've been toying around with the idea that along with the Teutonics, the Hospitallers are invited to help fight the pagans of the Baltic Sea. They fight along with the other Northern Crusaders and end up carving out a state in southern Sweden or Finland.

Is this possible? Would this Pod work for what I'm going for?

EDIT: If not, what about the Order taking over somewhere in Italy? Maybe a crusade on Genoa after a Genoese alliance with the Ottomans? A crusade against a Muslim Sardinia?

Another EDIT: What about Normandy? The Vikings were pagan when it was established. The Hospitallers were mostly Frenchmen anyways.. could they have 'liberated' Normandy and pulled what the Teutonics did in Prussia?
