I'll pass them on as I find them. Trouble with the maps is they are so big it's hard to get them downsized enough to fit the requirements of this site.

Yes, that is my favorite as well. My only compaint is that I wish they had chosen better dates rather than the arbitrary century points. For instance, 1204 instead of 1200, 1025 instead of 1000, etc.

I agree, I wish they had based it on important historical events.

Norman, I'm impressed. I'm relying on my hazy knowledge of Anglo-Saxon culture and Old English as I come across it in my uni modules. Thats all very well for composing verse for our thread but teaching yourself Gothic? I take my hat off!

Also look at the proposal for united europe "Eurotopia", POD or what?
