King Arthur Conquests

Time passes after that, and peace returns to normal, right? One night, Arthur sits down to relax, finally happy and hopefully done with war and madness, dancing with Guinevere and listening to Merlin drone on about a story…. Until he hears about Irish, Norwegian, and Icelandic invaders on HIS coastline. So, Arthur grabs Excalibur and says “Merlin, Ginny …. I’ll be right back.” Then Arthur proceeds to sale to Ireland, Norway and Iceland and conquer them. Not because he wanted their land or tribute, but to make sure they don’t EVER attack his people again. For instance, he walked into Iceland and said “Hi, I’m Arthur. Your people have been invading my lands, so in payback…. your lands are mine now.” Several battles ensued, but Arthur, being Death that Walks with a magical sword of “I instantly win this fight” sent his army across these countries like a plague. So many people lost their lives in this conquest, that Arthur’s still considered a boogeyman in certain parts of Ireland. This consolidated Arthur’s power and influence, but it attracted the attention of Rome. Rome decided they wanted a piece of Camelot’s newfound territory.
