      History Context: In 1401 the Holy Roman Empire was adjusting to the recent election of Rupert of the Palatinate against the still-living Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia, with Rupert focused on securing recognition from wavering electors, funding an Italian campaign to gain imperial prestige, and containing ongoing noble feuds and city-prince conflicts along the Rhine and in Swabia while Bohemia remained politically aloof.

      How were the colors of the countries selected? The state and its vassals/dynastic unions/relatives, proteges in power (for example, Austria proper and Styria, Carniola, Tyrol) or by cultural affinity, or alliances/spheres of influence?

      The Holy Roman Empire was like the left wing parties that keep dividing and arguing for the most petty stuff

      You might want to correct Texel / Vlieland, which was composed of 3 different islands around 1400: Texel, Eijerland and Vlieland, as distinct as the other Wadden islands depicted on this map.

      This is a good illustration why the Czech king was so important in the Late Middle Ages. Bohemia + Moravia + Silesia + Lusatia together was the largest coherent country in the HRE.

      That map is full of errors … Gera is shown south of Weida which is just plain wrong, it is the other way around. I have my doubts about Osterland as well, going way too far into the south.

      Nice!!! but i think the map could benefit from an explanatory table and a clearer color organization according to Free Cities, Bishoprics or different dynasties.

      Is there a reason why south West Germany experienced more fragmentation? Is it just the absence of external threats or something else?
