The large island to the north? That's quite spread out, I mean that island in terms of distance one would have to travel even by sea is the equivalent of sailing from Sicily all the way to Sweden. You'll have to pick between the north island or the southern ones but not both, it's simply to impractical for a hold to be so spread out and still support itself properly, without one of the islands going independent any.
