It's a Holy War. I'd rather stay Norse, since I haven't reformed the Norse as someone outside Scandinavia and wanted to try it out.

I think you could choose the convert to attackers religion decision then tutor your kids or grandkids by a norse in the realm so as to reconvert down the line, which would free you from the current war while keeping your ability to reform eventually.
Other than that your best option is probably to use you money to raise a merc company or two and attempt to hold back the tide by seiging hre provinces far from his armies and resiegin your own holdings where possible. The main problem with this though is that others might take advantage of the situation to declare war also, but it should be doable if you have either boats, luck or patience.
It's being a fun game. I ended up losing, but I managed to raid their capital before the war was over and I married his sister. We're now allies, and the emperor loves me. For now, I'm content assassinating his powerbase. In a couple decades, I'm planning to form Francia. Let's see if it happens.
What sort of war is it? If its a holy war you could always convert. Sure you won't still be norse but you will still be relatively intact.
