Summary

Description
English: A map in German of central Europe during the time of the Hohenstaufen Emperors, primarily showing the territories of the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of Sicily.

The map is a vectorised version of this map from Professor G. Droysens Allgemeiner Historischer Handatlas, which was published in 1886 by R[ichard] Andree.

I will at some point create an English version.

Changes from source image:

  • The small map in the top left corner (Die Welfenlande z. Zeit Heinrich d. Löwen – "Welf lands at the time of Henry the Lion") has not been included.
  • The legend in the bottom left corner has not been included since it is redundant with this description and/or image captions.
  • As such, both England and North Africa have been expanded into the areas which the map and legend cover.
  • The Balearic Islands were added; for some reason, Droysen's map omitted them.
  • Silesia has been removed from the HRE
  • Names of rivers have not (yet?) been included.
  • Locations of cities, fortresses etc have not been included.
  • Cöln has been changed to its modern spelling of Köln.
  • Some notes on territory changes have been added (Corfu, La Bresse).
