Description Again inspired by the wonderful work of Pischinovski, I decided to make a continuation to my MotF 125 entry. Hopefully it's not too repetitive. 

After the death of Lulach I in 1089, the population of Lulachfrýgyld was 187. The kingdom he created was divided between his two sons, Ælfgar and Lalor. They each received feudal ownership of one of the two major settlements. Ælfgar recieved the city of Cerenandred, while Lalor claimed the smaller town of Swétnes. As the kingdom (more commonly described as a realm, considering it was now technically two kingdoms) moved into the twelfth century, the population began to grow exponentially. The stabilizing realm grew from 187 to 476 by 1130, with multiple small towns being founded across the region. Skilled nobles were given plots of land in the far north, and castles were built to defend these new villages. By 1130, both Ælfgar and Lalor are growing old, and their large kingdoms shall soon lose their prosperity...

Really? I can't pronounce half of them, what do they sound like?

Old-English and Celtic (Irish or Scotish version probably), and I love that old sounds^^

I wouldn't mind seeing a continuation of this, albeit fast-forwarded to the 16th or 18th Centuries, once other European realms start setting up shop...

I'll probably do that a bit later on, I'm quite interested in the current scenario at the moment.
