Europa nell’814

That’s some cursed Etelköz there

Why does it say England instead of Angles, Saxons and Danes? Same with Ireland.

It is worth noting that the exact borders were not well defined in those times.

It would appear that this map tries to superimpose medieval state names on top of modern-day borders. As someone from the Balkan region, I can clearly see that the borders of regions correspond to borders of countries after Ottoman invasion. There are a few duchies missing, most notably Bosnia and Duklja.

Positioning and borders of Balkan duchies and polities which *are* represented on the map is also off. Croatia should be more south and more bulbous as Slavic tribes in Panonia did not identify as Croats until after Croatian King Tomislav defeated Pannonian Avars in 10th century (Pannonian Slavs henceforth identified as Croats), and duchy of Croatia extended to western part of the region of Herzegovina. Minor duchies Zachumlia and Travunia made up the rest of Herzegovina that overlaps with what is marked as “Servia” on the map. Serbia itself was more east at that time and was involved in border raids and wars with Bulgarians.

As for Greece, it was way more fragmented than is shown here.

That’s just Balkans, I would imagine any other region is poorly represented as well. Italy is looking mighty suspicious, too. Also, not so sure about Saxony even though this *is* supposed to be immediately after Frankish conquest of Saxony so I guess it’s mostly fine to put entire of Saxony inside the Frankish empire, but there was plenty of flux there too.

Americans after realising they are Friendly firing on their kind by Talking shi about europe. 

Yes, Finnish Tribes ruled over Russia. Didn’t Putin want to return the world maps to the historic glory? Eagerly awaiting for his capitulating resignation of the Finnish land.

How was this map created? It’s clearly NOT made in 814, so it’s someones later interpretation of that period.

I can just say, situation decipted here in Balkans is tricky. It’s not that is not possible, it’s just that we have no fcking clue.

From what I see, several very important tribes are missing. Or are just lumped together unto what they weren’t.

Now I checked, it’s from 1905. Author probably went for full simplification in this area, because it’s a gray area (actually shown in grey colour on map 🙂 )

The Abbasids have come right up to my city 🙁

It looks like an AI fake.

Case in point that the whole “this is our sacred land and these are our borders forever more” – in other words nationalism – is utter bollocks.

I keep going back to the more than compelling fact that many animal species migrate; they follow the seasons, food sources, seek out safe places to give birth and rear their young.

It’s nuts that we humans restrict ourselves into tiny geographical areas and create myths around this self-imposed imprisonment.

No Russia…must have been nice.

The political unification of England occurred in 927, so that’s one inaccuracy.
