Typo edit

“Aux la Chapelle” should be Aix-la-Chapelle, with an i. I tried correcting the mistake myself but failed miserably. 109.90.217.163 (talk) 15:47, 31 May 2013 (UTC) PS. I’ll add this to the Commons too, which seems to be the correct spot.Reply

Goths & Swedes in Estonia? edit

Why part of Estonia is marked as land of Goths % Swedes? It's wrong. Saaremaa was Oeselians homeland, and they were Estonians. Yes Swedes stayed in Hiiumaa short time during their exodus to the Ukraine and Byzantium. But this was short time and they were not rulers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.253.60.195 (talk) 16:09, 25 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

Bulgarian Empire edit

Where is Bulgarian Empire on this map? This is the time of Krum, when Bulgaria is one of the most powerful states in Europe. During this time Bulgaria is Empire - First Bulgarian Empire. Now on the map is written "Kingdom", which is wrong, because Kingdom of Bulgaria is the name of Bulgarian state in 1908 - 1946. This is map, which show the borders of Bulgaria in 814:

 
Bulgaria under Khan Krum (new territories gained under his rule are in yellow)

Austria edit

In the center of the map the label "Austria" should be "Austrasia", I suppose?

Croatia edit

The word croatia is to be written in the coastal part of today repubblic of croatia instead in "slavonian part". Today Slavonia was not part of Croatia in the VIII cent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.8.31.164 (talk) 06:25, 14 October 2014 (UTC)Reply

England edit

England was at this time not a united kingdom, but under the rule of many different kings: Mercia, Wessex, Northumbria, etc. These different kingdoms were frequently at war and maintained separate diplomatic ties to Charlemagne's empire, so why is England represented monolithically?

Galicia edit

The Kingdom of Galicia didn't exist, stop this nonsense propaganda, it was the Kingdom of Asturias, established in Asturian cities like Cangas de Onís and Oviedo in the 8th century by Hispano-Romans of Asturian and Cantabrian origin mainly, the Kingdom of Galicia dates from the 10th century and the Kingdom of the Suebi from the 5th and 6th centuries wasn't Galicia, also the province of Gallaecia is not Galicia — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.152.131.92 (talk) 02:07, 21 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Spanish nationalism in the nineteenth century invented the name of the kingdom of Asturias. There is no source from the time that calls the kingdom that. Only the Albeldense chronicle calls it in one line "astororum regnum" literally: kingdom of the astorors, a bad interpolation. It does not say Kingdom of Asturias anywhere. The kings of that period are unanimously called kings of galicia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.87.55.87 (talk) 23:29, 21 February 2021 (UTC)Reply

Sweden edit

According to the Olof Trätälja story, Värmland in Sweden was settled by Swedes from the Mälaren valley around year 600. Archaeology also shows a large increase of agriculture and population at this time. So at least south Värmland should be considered Swedish. Also the area west of lake Vänern.--BIL (talk) 17:50, 25 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
