Winning in Viking Invasion

I have just been informed that I failed in VI. I controlled my home provinces and all provinces from Lothene to Cumbri to Pec and Wroclen Saetan to South Seaxe and all others to the East. I had been informed that I had the largest income. The Saxons, Picts and Mercians had one province each and the Scots, Irish and Welsh had a few but there was nothing substantial left in any of them. I am a ruthless invader.
What did I miss?

Um, I think you hit the time limit. You have to conquer ALL provinces before the time limit ends. When it ends, I have no clue, I guess before 1066, you must know it for sure by now http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

That is all the provinces EXCEPT the two Viking homelands. You can't reach them with your ships so the game doesn't include them in the victory condition. You can try to bribe the Viking armies but it is not necessary.

I think 1066 is the end date.

your also given an option to end the game once you have conquered around 65% of the map for a partial victory.
