    1. Why not list your original source which is the exact same map just in more detail made by someone else?

      Poland and Lithuania weren’t in an union yet, other than that, nice map

    3. Why did the fall of the Byzantine Empire have such an effect on the spice trade if the Ottoman Empire already controlled almost the entire Sea of ​​Marmara? Before the taking of Constantinople they could block the passage of ships whenever they wanted in the Dardanelles.

      The region that is now Germany was divided in dozens of small lands.

      Other than that, pretty much what we know. Aragon and Castilla united to form Spain. The Italian Republics later united to form Italy. The Latin speaking Principalities of the ancient Roman provinces in the East united to form today’s Romania. Poland and Lithuania divided. Moscow Principality extended and incorporated Novgorod and pretty much everything East to form what is today Russia.

      Why is Urgell, Pallars and Aran part of the Kingdom of Aragon and not of the Principality of Catalonia? The Catalan-Aragonese border was the same than the current one, it didn’t change since the mid-14th century.

    6. This is a real work of art. Both useful and straightforward in its information. Thanks for the post.

      Portugal’s borders have remained virtually unchanged since 1143 (the date of the country’s founding) and continue to this day. Something unique in the world..

    9. beautiful map. I would say that there seems to be an inconsistency in my amateur knowledge in how you draw borders. For Moscow and the Kalmar Union (and possibly Perm?), you seem to only give them what they had significant control of, letting Lapland and the Uralic tribes be. If I’m not mistaken, this was de facto true, but de jure it was mostly claimed. Meanwhile for Novgorod you give them control over Northern Russia, which from my understanding was controlled by tribal Nenets and other tribes, who simply traded openly with Novgorod. Am I mistaken in my understanding, or is there something I’m missing about why it’s coloured this way?

      Edit: I’m reading a bit into Lapland now, since you got me curious, and it seems that the Swedish even taxed the region, which seems to be more control than I think Novgorod had. Again, I could be wrong on this.
