My suggestions are to sell those likely to revolt villages to Ireland get some money from it,with an alliance and a trading rights.Give them some power and push them to war with Scotland.
Watch them kill each other while you grow more powerful and who ever comes out victorious will be an easy pray for your powerful and rich kingdom.
In the mean time destroy Wales as fast as you can and try getting on good terms with Norway as they are most likely going to be your greatest foe.

i agree, in a welsh campaign i did a while back, that Templar army of the English was a real slap in the face. Perhaps it would be best to focus a bit more on your Economy. As you said the Welsh were spending like there is no tomorrow and that can't last forever. Perhaps bide your time, build some markets and Merchant Wharves, fill your coffers and retake whatever the welsh stole from you. I'm not guaranteeing this is a good idea but it is what i would do. Trade is important, why not get trade rights with both Scotland and Norway? Let them waste their money fighting each other while you benefit from both of them.

Indeed, the best offer Wales can ask for is Protectoracy, If they accept, great if not, oh well, one less player is hardly going to damage you! The Irish now shake with fear before you and the Norse, try and make peace with them and let them and the Norweigan's battle it out while you focus entirely on the traitors to the North. Or another road could be to continue war with Ireland who will fall before long if you do continue and by doing so, try to persuade the Norse to focus of the Scottish Northern settlements aswell as the Irish. You have a firm standpoint now to win the game. You have consolidated your Power in England, almost destroyed the Welsh and now can force any demands you wish upon them, the Irish are confused and afraid, having to currently face war on 2 fronts and no matter what you decide to do with them now it is likely to work out well for you and the only people you have to worry at all about now is Scotland if you can secure the Alliance with Norway and if you feel you can trust them. At some point, War will come between you but you have to try and just get them to wait until Scotland and Ireland are gone. If i were you, i'd try my best to persuade them to attack scotland, if you can do that then when the Irish have gone (most likely before the Scots) you will both still have a common enemy and Mr Jr won't have the dilemma of Should he side with his ally or try to stop the Superpower from becoming more super (Which, personally, i would choose the latter, so beware)
