Some errors on the map, for possible correction:
- Vest Recklinghausen is not distinguished from the Bishopric of Münster, although it was a territory of the Archbishop of Cologne
- Magdeburg is shown including the territory of Halberstadt as well.
- Magdeburg is listed as a Bishopric and colored as an ecclesiastical state, when in fact it had become the territory of Brandenburg (the Duchy of Magdeburg; Halberstadt was the Principality of Halberstadt).
- The Principality of Verden is not distinguished from the Duchy of Bremen; both were ruled by Sweden, but were distinct territories.
- Brunswick-Kalenberg is not separated from either Brunswick-Celle or Brunswick-Grubenhagen; Grubenhagen is not listed (it had no separate rulers, but was a distinct territory)
- Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel is not noted either, and it did have its own ruler.
- Ideally, it would be nice to split out the various Saxon duchies, although this obviously isn't a mistake.
- Savoy is given the same color as the Spanish territories.
- The Bishopric of Passau is neither colored in nor separated, but seems to be included within the Austrian Habsburg territories
Anyway, this is a great map, just wanted to note some possible improvements. john k 22:45, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
Meines Wissens (bin gebürtiger Hallenser ;-) ) gehörten sowohl Magdeburg als auch Halle/Saale bis 1680 zum Erzbistum Magdeburg und sind erst dann an Brandenburg gefallen. In der Spätphase des Erzbistums diente Halle zudem bis 1680 als "Haupstadt" des Territoriums (Residenz des Erzbischöfs bzw. dann der erzbschöflichen Administratoren).
In dieser Karte von 1648 liegt Magdeburg noch im Erzbistum, während Halle hingegen schon zu Brandenburg gehört.
ref. to No. 6 from above: BIG MISTAKE What is mentioned here on the map as "Hzm. Wolfenbüttel" was in reality "Fsm. Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel". Actually, there was no such thing as "Hzm. Wolfenbüttel". --80.187.102.152
