Looks like you're one war away from kicking the Spaniards out from the "South Incalandia", can't wait...
And about your rulers, atleast you have one. In my current game as France (yes, too easy, but started it just to relax) I now have consolidated the French lands + some neighbouring provinces, own half of England, western coast of Iberia from Galicia to Andalucia (Portugal is no more), Northern half of Italy, half of the Balkans, all of Anatolia (Ottomans is an OPM), and 4 provinces of the Middle East, including Judea, have vassalized Scotland, Brittany, Pope + some, military 200k+, navy 100+, and ended up being lesser partner in PU under OPM Urbino,
Oh, almost forgot, there are other odd things going on too in my game. For example there is a catholic Granada that declared independence from crumbling Castille. It fell apart after i destroyed it completely in a short war...
