As nearly EVERY commenter noted, it needed a timeline.

Below the  updated version with a timeline.

Its better without timeline because you can ask yourself "When did this happen?"

Was pretty obvious when half the europe turned purple with Germany near the end

BTW, if someone is interested in that period and region, there is a GREAT BOOK about it:

Ogniem i mieczem

Read it two times Very interesting both historicaly, and as a novel.

however, where is Island and Færøerne (the Faroe Islands) in the video? they are also part of the north/europe. would be interesting to have them there as well eventho not much have happend :p

One thing I don't think is very accurate is that Castille and France weren't centralized enough to be considered "one independent country" before at least 1300. Not as clusterfucky as Germany for sure, but not one big blob either.

I'm reading Sagas of the Icelanders (Íslendingasögur) at the mo and wanted to see that too. Iceland would have pretty much just solidly been Iceland though right?

The videos are saturated with inaccuracies and broad generalizations like that - often a necessary evil on historical maps in general.

Cool videos though, I love historical maps, they are one of the most accessible keys to world history.
