Many provinces in a re-emergency

[King Noob the Stupid]

It's quite an interesting game so far, france was pretty mighty (owned france itself+most of germany, still owns bohemia+venice+perhaps a little more on the balkans) but apparently fighting off 6 enemies at the same time while being excommunicated and not having a single friend was a little too much for their low-influence new king, sweden had owned britanny for some time and around 1165 I (Ireland, had conquered all of Britain before, thanks to france it had been easy ;)) sunk his ships and attacked his north coast (first friesland with my beloved 8star general, unfortunately he reconquered it with 2k men after a year, then flanders+normandy, which was more successful for me because the french chickened out) while at the same time aragon conquered aquitaine and sweden launched a new attack, too, the pope (the first 3-4 popes were very active, about 1 excommunication per decade) excommunicated France, civil war broke out (all the rest of modern-day france the French still controlled, except Champagne, became rebels, apparently southern germany too) and a year later HRE re-emerged with about 2.5 stacks, absorbing all the rebel provinces except one, so now the French is left with saxony, brandenburg and perhaps parts of italy/balkan, i don't think he'll survive for long... perhaps I'll turn it into a story someday, if my glorious achievements become a little more... glorious ;) (and if my old king and his only 1-year younger brother don't bite the dust in the next 5 years, otherwise there won't be an heir because my king only married after ascending to the throne in the age of 39 and his brother who ruled before was a pervert bastard (well, apparently he was born before his father married...) who only had 2 children, both girls)
