costumed Scotch pipers striding through a tavern;

Kaor, Paul!
Hmmm, a Danish ruled world? An interesting thought! What might have happened if the sons of Canute the Great, the Danish king who conquered England, had sons and grandsons of their own and firmly solidified the rule of a Danish dynasty in England? I can see England (and then Scotland and Ireland) being oriented in a North Western European direction with Denmark as the center. With Norway becoming part of this confederation? There might well have been no Norman conquest, one consequence of which was England's centuries long fixation on France.
