I finished as the King of Scotland, Ireland, Wales and Portugal, in addition to having absorbed the Orkneys into the Kingdom of Scotland, as well as conquering Iceland, the Duchy of Norfolk, and the Canary Islands.
I think I played the long game with a little bit too much patience- I was just preparing to draw the noose tight on England to give me the territories needed to establish the Empire of Britannia when I ran out of time. Just shortly after my Genius, Diligent king took the throne as well. Ah, alas, lessons for the next game.
