Europe

Below is a "clickable map." Click on the region that interests you to go to an index of available maps for that region; or use one of the text links beneath the map. When using the graphic map, check the status bar to make sure your cursor is over the regional link you want.

Please note that political boundaries changed radically throughout the Middle Ages and that this map shows merely an approximation of general areas over the course of more than a thousand years. Precision is not a viable option in this case.

About the Medieval Atlas
   The Medieval Atlas is a directory of maps, charts, geographic drawings and illustrations, illuminations, and other cartographic representations of the world in general, and the geography of Europe in particular, during the Middle Ages. Both historical maps and period or "antique" maps are included.
   The directory links to maps on the web as well as to maps right here at the Medieval History site. Many maps are in the public domain and may be downloaded and used freely; however, please check each individual page for copyright notices and any terms of use for the map it displays.
   For more about this atlas, return to the
Medieval Atlas main page.
