Just as it says. The area isn't secured by the Northern French, and people like Count Raymond remain in/regain power.

It seems there was only a finite level of enthusiasm for doing it - sure if it was easy and profitable, people leaped on it, but it wasn't worth so much as to generate endless effort without those rewards coming.

It seems that this would weaken the Capets compared to OTL, although more as a matter of not growing in an area they were lucky enough to profit from than being worse off than they started from.

But what happens to the region itself? From my (limited) reading, it was hardly a united place in any sense - just basically a not-France area of various lords with (relatively) little power.
