Things happen... Now we have Scotland/Venice/England sandwich.
Venice is England's vassal, I hope they'll annex it soon to make the map look right (at least on the Isles...).
In Crusader Kings, the "Sheikdom of Praha" phenomenon, i.e. Muslim-governed territory in the middle of Christian Europe, was (and might still be) a serious problem. I see For the Glory has the same problem. 
It took decades for Provence to come back under Catholic rule, and then only because Tunisia's government collapsed while Provence was occupied by Lorraine.

That's far from being the same as the Sheikdom of Praha problem though. I mean, this is a coastal, Mediterranean province, at war with a state more or less directly to the south of it. Hell, Muslim pirates even controlled a number of ports in Southern France at a time, if I'm not mistaken.
"Sheikdom of Praha" was more related to the universal military access that made random European counties vulnerable to invasion.

That sounds really interesting, do you happen to have any links on the subject?
Just as a good starting point, here's the relevant Wikipedia article. I'm trying desperately to remember the name of the particular city I'm thinking of, without luck.
Any time.
Oh, and just to get back on topic, another 200 ducat extortion from a surprising power.
Also, I enjoyed this:
Actually I think its "All [their] base are belong to us." I just might have to go report this grave error in the bug report.
Actually the correct phrase is, 'all your base are belong to us'.
But in this case I think it should be 'all their base are belong to us'

That's the ticket! Although I got emu'd. Well, not quite, since I saw it before posting this, but yes!
And yeah, the Aden one should be "All their base are belong to us."
That part of the game gets a little implausible in situations like that. Still, I'd take it.
