Dark Ages (960 AD) Map

But mother would be "mådder" if one were to write it in modern Norwegian without translating it, while thick would be "thikk".
 
No, eth* is a th too, just the voiced one (like mother, as opposed to thick).

*I always get thorn and eth mixed up. :eek:
Are you thinking of the Old English use of ð? Because there it was used interchangeably with the thorn, while in Old Norse ð eventually became d or dh.

The POD is thirty years after they upgraded themselves. I'll admit that "Caliphate of Cordoba" does seem to be a term used for the second Umayyad Caliphate (although every book I've read has referred to them as the Umayyads :confused:), but for this map they should be Caliphs, and I stand by my statement that they didn't lose control of the northeast until the whole show fell apart in the 1010s.
A quick look through the maps on this thread should put some errors right.

The Spanish Marches were in Charlemagne's pocket long before 1010. Although there does seem to be some recapture by 910 AD, it is regained by the next century.

Only on the continent. My heroic (i.e. boring) Icelandic ancestors proudly kept the edh and thorn ('cause they were too far from anyone for their language to change), and have them to this day.:)
