 I'm trying to decide if it would be horrendous to write a FFXII Medieval AU with Dalmasca as Wales, Archadia as England, Nabradia as Scotland and Landis as Ireland. With a nod in as Fran from Scandinavia - but what would Rozarria be? France.

Balthier, as a half English half Welsh lordling from somewhere near the border plans defection and seeks the help from a noted wisewoman/Green Lady on the other side of the border. They strike up a partnership and try their hands at being raiders.

Ashelia as a princess, married a lord (will find proper cultural terminology) from Scotland to strike up a defence against the English.
 
Noah and Basch hail from small town/stead in south of Ireland which has been invaded by the English and have been brought back as serfs or similar. Basch escapes to become a Welsh bowsman, Noah becomes Gabranth and stays to work his way up in England.
 
Will be rife with inaccuracies most likely, but I'm really tempted. Would start of as series of linked together drabbles then see where that takes me. 
 
But would any of you want to read it? :/

*grabs hand and pulls into a hug* thank you :D as a matter of interest, especially in the Wales-focused parts, would you prefer it if I noted down a vocab/historical explanation part down at the end of every segment?

Oh, that's a good idea! There's a lot I don't know about Wales. :D

Unfortunately we get lost a little in the bits that make up the U.K :/ out of curiosity, what do you know? (not quizzing you! Promise!)

Uh, not much! XD ...That Wales used to be its own country separate from the UK and has its own language (that uses combinations of letters I find fascinating because). (Ha ha, I'm not the type who's afraid to admit she has no clue about something!)
