2:46 Imagine being a Philip the first, second, third, and fourth at the same time

Germany really just looks like shattered glass for the longest time.

[neverluckym]

I like how you also changed the coastline of the Netherlands depending on the year.

[micahistory]

Imagine how hard it must be to draw all those borders

[MarcTelang]

2:48 Oh my goodness that's a lot of Phillips

[ramirosotto]

This is GOLD material for history students/buffs. We don't deserve you man

[mr.snaplles]

Not only dealing with the map gore that is the HRE but showing the coastline changing as well. Absolutely mad video

[micahistory]

Wow this is definitely another masterpiece by Ollie. This is why he's my favourite mapper, going into all that detail was amazing

In Flanders exist a tradition introduced by the spaniards that consist in free a prisoner if he does the Santiago path with a bag filled of rocks.

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.

The fact that you included the land reclamation changes is amazing, very good work!

Sea: _exists_
Netherlands: *g i b c l a y*

[TeeMee]

You forgot to label the most important state the Netherlands were at war with, the sea, ruled by Poseidon of course

I was so excited when I saw this! I've been reading a lot of English history lately, and there's been a lot of discussion in the texts about England's relations with the Low Countries. This map is definitely going to help me visualize these places better than I did before!

This might be the first map I've seen that has both political and geographical changes. Good stuff!

[lionheartmapping]

2:47 wow I cant believe this guy created several clones of himself just to get more lands

[heirofptah]

One small thing: after the independence of the Dutch "United Provinces", it would be appropriate to keep showing the separate provinces, as they were quite autonomous

[micahistory]

Wow Ollie, this is absolutely incredible. That must've been so hard to make

[nicolamiceli]

You could do the history of Tyrol, it's actually very interesting: celts, romans, avars, lombards, franks, bishops, counts, austrians, WW1 and split between Austria and Italy, fascism in the south, nazism in the norh, the nazi zone of occupation and resistance, split again in two, terrorism and modern day (the euroregion Tyrol is made up of all the actual Tyrolean territories between Austria and Italy).
