Have you ever tried to do this before? I thought of this in a dream and then put it to play the next morning. I took all my armies from cold russian lands and sailed to the island of britannia. I took a big financial hit but it paid off @ the end. When I Arrived to Britannia I first fought the Irish and easily took their fortress up north and their city near Nottingham. Next I sent my faction heir and 1 peasant archer & 3 spearmen to Dublin and overan & pillage the weak little town. Following that I regrouped most of my forces and made war against the the english.
I laid siege to nottingham, they eventually sallied out but they only met their deaths to my superior number of archers. While all of that was happening I sent my only diplomat to ask for trade rights to france and then my lovely Spaniards + ask for a little cash to fund my conquest. As I secured Nottinham My Faction Leader headed to England and when I broke to the city. I easily broke through their lines thanks to my mounted boyarsons Cav Charge. All that was left was the castle between Dublin & nottinham... sorry I forgot the name. I held to my bloodlust for 3 turns to recoup my losses. When my forces were nice & fresh I sent my force of 600 to attack the castle. To my surprise my enemy had a sizeable force of 1000 strong... mostly peasants, levy spearmen, and peasant archers, they too had like 2 units of light cav and Faction heir. When the battle started I left the bulk of my force Composed of mostly spearmen, peasant archers, 2 dismounted Boyars, & faction leader attack from the front. Front their right side I sent a group of peasants to mount the ram and break the side gates for my mounted boyars to attack from their side.
I broke through their front gates and charged my blood thrusty Dismounted Boyars followed by my conscriped spearment. as that battle raged on I sent made my mounted boyars charge at their right flanks and started a rout. Most of them were butchered before they entered the city center. 20 seconds later the battle was over and carrion bird flew up high waiting for the rotting meat to be dumped outside the castle walls. Thus the battle for britannia was over. Next will be my conquest for central Europe but that can wait another day.
