Easy: Saxon England surrendered to Norway, who in turn couldn't keep the kingdom secure from the Normans who in turn Norway was forced to surrender to.
A couple of pics from my current game:
15 and married? how did it happen? It's not even a "start date event" as I started in 1066 and the current year is 1199.
On my way to defending faith against a muslim Holy War against my lands, I wished to hire some Holy Orders... Surprise:
The Teutonic Order raised all his levies and hired the two other orders for his own Holy War
Last but not least: I switched to German as I am currently in Germany so I want to learn the language through playing (Nobody cares!) Anyway. And then a birth in my court:
for those who don't speak deutsch: A "Son" is born from X and Y. Now I don't know what a "son" instead of a son implies for the kid's future, but it looks like his parents doubt of his manliness

Not exactly strange I guess, but I did not actually know that baronies -could- end up independent.
They also have an annoying tendency to not be subject to a county claim CB, as well.

Has anyone ever seen an Emperor-level princebishop?
In a previous game, I somehow had the crowns of Galicia and Leon on the heads of an independent baron somewhere in Castille. It was maddening, but I didn't want to usurp them because of de jure shift.
It could be a random event. In my current game, my current duke's best friend's wife just died, and the friend then asked for help finding a new wife. I agreed to help him, thinking that I could just hook him up with some random 40-year old widow in the middle of nowhere (since he was kind of... old, approaching his fifties), but then I guess what the event does is make a new random wife appear, except that mine also happened to be a fifteen year old. She had good traits, though, so it was cool, but it was a little... odd.
Even odder is the fact that the best friend looks exactly like the guy in that screenshot.
And one named Majid MajidI like how 2 of the Holy Orders are led by Arabs
And one named Majid Majid
Ah well yes, this is another strange thing in this screenshot
They are of Levantine culture, because they both own baronies around Jerusalem. But don't worry, they both are good catholics ^^
In my game he died in 1104, which I think would have put him at 73. He was still the Bastard, and marshal of France.
I've managed a 93 year old William the Conqueror ... when he got around dying at that age he was a : ruler of Frankia (Crown, everything except northen burgundy), England (crown), Jerusalem(crown), France (crown), Wales, Navarra, Northern half of Aragon, a third of Ireland and the scottish lowlands ... needless to say, went splat when he died (but what an exit)
Damn Yenzen, every time I see you make a post I keep thinking... "hang on, I don't remember writing that"
All hail Harald the Conqueror! William died in battle pretty close to winning and Harald with the help of Denmark and Duke of the Isles cleaned up the rest of the English armies and then just sieged them down.

Aww man, now I'm gonna have to listen to Weird Al Yankovik's "White & Nerdy" while wearing my hoodie.
So I'm playing the Duke of Valois when my wife inherits the crown of France. Sweet, I get promoted to "king", and our little rascal Roger will inherit the crown somewhere down the road. However, the queen does take Roger with her to the royal court at Dijon, and since I care deeply for the education of the lad I ask if he can be my ward. Her reply?
I've heard of distrust in marriages, but this is ridiculous.

Despite having the fastest conclaves in recorded history, Christmas 1090 was not a good time to be pope.
I was the Abyssinians and in-order to stay alive I set up an alliance with the Byzantine Empire by marrying their daughtersto me... but, this created a problem. The current Emperor felt like he should die a bit early leaving my wife in charge! I now become the Emperor of Abyssinia and my wife is the Empress of the Byzantine Empire leaving my sons to soon rule the joint Empire! Problem is we're Monophystite and Ethopian and they were Orthodox and Greek... so to the best of my efforts I tried to convert everyone before it was too late but my wife was assassinated and my son ruled over the Byzantine Empire and proceeded to lose about half of it. Oh well, at least I have their mighty crown.
