  1. Croatia was in personal union with Hungary.

    Every respected academic map will show that, yet this kind of trashy instagram paint jpegs always omit it.

  2. Not sure if Rus borders was set up correctly _since The Stone of Tmutarakan existed, actually verifying existence of principality having at least chunk of lands around under Rus control and also confirmed by our chronicles

    Also some territories around Oleshye (Олешье/Олешшя) belonged to rus located approximately around modern Kherson oblast

    That’s first what come to mind

  3. Bosnia was just a banate of under the Croatian-Hungarian king. It won’t be until the mid 14th century when the local ban, having expanded himself and having enough power to elevate himself to a King of Bosnia, the Littoral, the Western Lands, as well as laying claim to the throne of Serbia.

    The kingdom would, in different borders, last an entire century under the Kotromanić dynasty. Its last monarch, Stephen II, would actually be recognised as Serbia’s last medieval monarch (technically the only Catholic to my knowledge to hold the title of despot of Serbia), however that lasted a few months, and in Bosnia he reigned a few years more before being murdered by the invading Ottomans. Corvinus, as King of Croatia and Hungary, saw a temporary return of the lands back into his domain, before the land was lost for good and remained under Ottoman reign for centuries.

  4. Parts of Romania are neither shown nor named correctly on the map, but i guess 21st century maps are even more inaccurate than those in the 12th

  5. Why is Greek Empire labeled as Roman Empire? These two entities don’t have much in common.
