Just had to put this on here. Just started a game, and one of my opponents was given the whole of Ireland from the start... I think the randomness is a bit screwed here!! http://www.conquerclub.com/game.php?game=83729
Nothing went wrong, you're just playing a 3 person game, so the chances are probably not that outlandish. Just be thankful its not unlimited fortifications- You have a decent chance to break the continent before it can be strongly defended now.
