      What achieved the dukes of Burgundy is impressive. Philip the good was the third, but it was Philip the bold that prepared it by making the good unions. Philipp the good had so many titles that he was named the western great duke.
      It was the first time these lands were united and that hase become Belgium and Netherlands when the Hasburg inheritated it.

      And the map is still a simplification, leaving out many of the subdivisions. For instance, what's just called "Ziegenhain" in this map from the 13th century onward should really include the county of Battenberg, which then splits into the counties of Battenberg and Wittgenstein, only to be consumed by Mainz and Hesse shortly after.
      Germany is a mess. :-)

      It's the same guy, but with a different name for every title. He was the third Count of Flanders with the name Philip, so that's why they called him Philip III in Flanders. In Luxemburg he was called Philip I, because he was their first Duke ever with the name Philip. This is European feudalism.

    Small mistake, the Rhine River up until around the year 1000 primarily went through the Leidsche Rijn and the Kromme Rijn, which are nowadays no longer really where it goes through.
    The place where the NetherRhine splits into the Kromme Rijn and the Lek is the city of Dorestad or Wijk bij Duurstede.
    The Northern Leidsche Rijn formed the Roman Frontier, which thus included cities like Utrecht, which are no longer on the main stream of the Rhine.

      Yes, a lot of those rivers and side streams shifted or regrouped in a different way. I only recently realized, the collapsed the roman settlement "Nijmegen" and the later refounded Carolingian "Nijmegen" are a few kilometers off duo to the shift and regroup of the rivers between the 4th and the 8th century.

      @nico210 18 днів тому

      What is native and what is not?
      Dutch is modern frankish, apart from the Frisians who are indeed more closely related to the saxons.
      Franks have lived quite separated from the saxons since the roman times, so although they're both germans and "not high" (with all the historic bagage), it would be amazing that they would be so close (more close than Saxon and Danish maybe, but not that much).

    Great map as usual! However, i would like to note (although i'd doubt anyone would be misinformed by this tiny mistake) that despite the country still bearing the formal name _Deutsches Reich_ until 1945, the country name used in the labels from 1919 - 1945 should be something else, maybe the _German Reich_ instead of the _German Empire_. Using the labels "Empire" post-1919 might be erroneous or confusing for some people. Still, the video is great as usual and i can't imagine the amount of work that had to be done to complete all of this.

      Also to add a bit, the left white area near France between Oldenburg's exclave and the Palatinate was actually already annexed by Prussia in 1834 (The Principality of Lichtenberg). Still, of course there's loads of small principalities here and mistakes here and there are beyond normal.

Noord-Brabanders weten ook niet veel beter. Zou ze eens moeten vragen of Antwerpen "Vlaams" of "Brabants" is. Ik verwacht dat ze sneller het eerste zullen zeggen en het tweede zullen verwerpen.

    @OllieBye this is awesome. Just one nit: before the All Saints flood of 1170, the South Sea (Zuiderzee) was just a lake. This is why West Frisia (here 1:42) was not yet called that, but was just part of the connected Frisia in the east.
    At that same point in time, Westergo and Eastergo were separated by open sea, called Middelzee.
