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.
Cursed Colors
And then Napoleon came and destroyed this mess.
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?
An abomination
The Holy Roman Empire was like the left wing parties that keep dividing and arguing for the most petty stuff
Can a man get a legend?
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.
Europa Universalis wants to know your location
Would love a link to the full/original map, this looks beautiful
Nice.
was moravia independent from Bohemia?
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.
County of Auschwitz? Oh no
Not Holy. Roman. Nor an empire
What are strips in France for?
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.
When a unicorn vomits rainbow skittles.
Is there a reason why south West Germany experienced more fragmentation? Is it just the absence of external threats or something else?
Theres a little Bistch in there
