Ever since a certain flag challenge I've been doing a little thinking on how the something like Keith Laumer's Imperium could come about.

- Margaret the Maid is born Magnus and becomes King of Scotland, later becoming King of Norway from his father Eric; tho some scuffles with his uncle Haakon occur
- with Magnus about to have 2 crowns, Edward I of England gets himself a crown for Ireland (he's not about to be "outkinged" by an upstart Norwegian ;))
- Denmark unifies with Sweden - this is a much more equal partnership as the Danes lack Norwegian support
- The Dano-Swedish Union of Malmoe solidifies Northern Germany and the Baltics under their rule during the Reformation as a Protestant Holy Roman Empire
- Norway breaks from Scotland (Malmoe support? or annexation?) leaving Iceland and the co-rule of the Isles to Scotland
- Scotland-Iceland comes into union with England-Ireland

Things get fuzzy here but we could see a personal union between the 2 empires perhaps in reaction to some Mediterranion Catholic Alliance that solidifies into confederation
