Since the 1492-1792 forum has a thread started about good websites for that period, I thought I'd start a thread here for history websites that are concerned with any period before 1492. So please post them!

http://www.byzantium1200.com/ is an interesting historically-related site. It has computer reconstructions of many famous buildings of medieval Constantinople before its sack by the Crusaders in 1204.

- about probably the most well-known English date in history, the year of the conquest. An interesting scenario could be based on a Saxon or Scandinavian England, where Harold Godwinson or Haraald Hardrada had won.

Old signature did not meet forum rules. So after 6 years of using it I was forced to change it to this one
anyone have a detailed map on 1400-1430 something?
especially over the HRE-provinces..
Sometime in the sixties a German Historical Atlas was published in Sweden with a Swedish index. It may provide detailed info for what you want, especially since it was German in origin.Originally posted by djurensmorsa

Do you have a specific question.
jag behöver bara veta hur gränserna ser ut, mellan alla hertigdömen och biskopsstäder och sånt.. oftast ser man alla länder i europa men hre är bara blankt eller med endast de två tre största furstedömena.
Jag skulle iofs kunna fråga om biskopsstäderna och de territorier som hörde dit... Hur självständiga var dessa områden i förhållande till påvestaten, kan man säga (på spelspråk) att de var ungefär "vassalstater" eller "minors" till påven?
OK, det visar den boken mer än väl. Den visar också religion, språk, juridiskt och kulturellt inflytande. Du vet hur noggranna tyskarna är ;-)Originally posted by djurensmorsa

Den heter Atlas till Världshistorien (IIRC) och gavs ut av Svenska Bokförlaget på sextiotalet. Kolla med ett stadsbibliotek (dom kan säkert låna in den), den finns säkert inte i bokhandeln.
Biskopsdömena, flera var lika stora eller större än de hertigdömen som finns i spelet, hade stort politiskt inflytande i HRE, som styrdes via en riksdag ungefär som i Sverige. Dessutom var tre av dom elektorer, dvs de valde nästa kejsare.Jag skulle iofs kunna fråga om biskopsstäderna och de territorier som hörde dit...

Eftersom det var ett gammalt stridäpple mellan påven och kejsaren, vem som var deras chef och kejsarmakten förlorade, utgår jag från att påven var deras chef, alltså att de var vasall-stater, för att inte säga var en del av påvedömet. I spelet "A Mighty Fortress" (IIRc tidiga 1500-talet) är det så.
Lycka till,

tack så mycket

antiquity
i'm looking to make a antic scenario

so if someone has some to-see sites...

What exactly do you mean by "antiquity". It would help if you specified what period you wanted sites for.

This has almost anything you want... leader names, maps, you name it.
Philosophy of History
Truly, a treasure trove of information! Those of you making scenarios might find some of the information useful.
thanks a lot
