Map b. The World in 1116AD
The Isles
Eire has gained some territories despite being engaged in rebellions and a war with the Scots - Wales is now completely under our control and we made some headway into Scotland as well. France also extended rule into Britain with territories in Canterbury and Lothian. The bit of green in north Scotland is an OPM (Sutherland) that pirated our emerald colour, not affiliated to Eire.
Gaul
France is reunited and growing stronger. Only the Duchy of Toulouse seems to stand independent.
The HRE
Gains were made in Toscana and Sardinia, but the empire also lost Carinthia and some of its eastern provinces.
East Europe
Poland expanded eastwards at the expense of the tribe of Livonia, while Hungary and Bohemia stayed pretty much the same throughout Donnchad’s reign.
The North
Sweden had absorbed Norway and Demark makes headway in Osterland. We seem to be heading for a two-power Scandinavia here. Or would we see a Kalmar Union? Tis hard to say…
Baltics
The region remains a patchwork of claims even as Novogrod shrinks. The Teutonic Order is wiped. The ascendant Swedes have gained some provinces here too.
Italy
Duchy of Apulia has finally formed the Kingdom of Sicily, despite the fact that the island of that namesake is now a patchwork of owners. There’s the HRE, the Papacy, Sicily, and Muslim powers… talk about cosmopolitan.
Hispania
The Taifas sit in peace during this period, even as Barcelona continued to etch out a continued existence.
Balkans / Asia Minor
Croatia reclaimed its lost territories and Pomerania is no more. Byzantium crumbles ever so slowly in the face of rebellious lords and encroaching neighbours.
Russia
Chernigov and Pereslavl have expanded at the expanse of everyone else here. They seem to be heading for an inevitable clash.
Africa
The region is almost unchanged during Donnchad's reign.
Middle East
The Turks face competition with the Qarakhind. The Crusades had created Christian pockets in the Holy land, and totally overwhelmed the Shiekdom of Jersusalem. Damascus is an island of calm in a sea of chaotic religious warfare.
Caucasus
The region is still a patchwork of minor powers as no neighbouring kingdom has the power to impose authority there.
