History
Carlos I de Oviedo Created it's own kingdom in Gijón, the year 550 AD.

The kingdom of Asturias debilitated, because of Arabs, which in this alternate history, had more power in the peninsula.

The kingdom approached the weak moments Asturias were going thru and conquered most of it.

It was a Christian Kingdom but anyway it kept good relations with the Arabs.

It started buying land to the Arabs with money and goods.

In the year 602 AD the economy of the Kingdom failed. There was not much harvest. They needed money to pay the Arabs, so they don't attack them so they started the search and conquer for lands to gain gold and other goods.

The first acquisition was Brittany then Cornwall.

They decided to make a Marine empire and conquered southern Azores, discovered (it was a discovery for them) Ireland.

And with centuries they even reached Iceland or Norway.

The Empire started to break away. Colonies wanted independence. It was very weak. The last conquests were Morocco and the zone of Porto and Lisbon in Portugal.

Descendant: Republic Of Fanastya.
