Map of Europe in the Year 1000 (+Others)
I love looking at old maps, this is a particularly good one. It’s amazing how many of the major European countries existed then. Also interesting is Spain which is mostly part of the Califate. Islam was spectacularly successful at conquering North Africa, the middle East and most of Spain. It took a lot of fighting for the Spanish to recapture Spain from the ‘Moors’ in the Reconquista which took seven centuries from 722 to 1492.
Warning- you may experience pop-ups on this site.
PS. I have updated the links page to point to a new address which is on a site full of maps going back to the year 100. Definitely worth a look!
