Earled seems full of promise, and young kings always seem to make excellent AAR characters (maybe it's just easier to relate to someone who hasn't been grizzled down by years of war and heavy duty when one is born in our day and age). Going to be interesting to see his choice of bride though, and the effects it'll have on England. Without either Normans or Norsemen England oft seems to get cut off from the world around it but I'm guessing you'll return England to the continental politics eventually? Either way could of course make for a good storyline.
