Frankenthal and Worms

I think that the locations of Frankenthal and Worms are exchanged. Worms lies north of Frankenthal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Karotte3 (talk • contribs) 22:44, 24 July 2020 (UTC)

I concur. It appears that the light purple area for the Bishopric of Worms was placed around Frankenthal as well. Also the boundaries of Grafschaft Lenningen may have been modified to allow the incorrect location of the Bishopric of Worms. — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.67.252.102 (talk) 19:17, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

Color markings

I think it would be better to change the color marking the Duchy of Pommern-Cammin for a one which is similar to those used in Pommern-Stettin and Pommern-Wolgast. The Cammin Duchy was in 1618 ruled by the same Griffin dynasty and no more a typical prince-bishopric. The whole Pomerania was united only 7 years later, in 1625.

I'm aware of the huge influence the Greiffen-dynasty had on Cammin. However, more or less the same occured in Lübeck with the Oldenburgs and Halberstadt with the Guelps. Furthermore, Pommerania was not truely 'united' after 1625, since the Estates keeping meeting separately. And after 1637, when the Greifen-dynasty died out, Cammin was kept a separate territory under the husband of a Pomeranian princes: Ernst Bogislaw von Croÿ. Sir Iain (talk) 19:59, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Colour of Burgundy

The spanish possessions between Germany and France (the former Duchy of Burgundy till 1477) have the same colour as the Austrian Line. This looks like a predominance of the ruler of Austria, but Austria wasn't so powerful in this era, in german maps have this territories always a darker variant of the same colour.--ErhardSiller (talk) 18:00, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

Actually, the colour of the France-Comté, Milan and present-day Belgium is a little lighter compared to the territories of the Austrian branch of the family. This is clearest when zooming in on the border between the Franche-Comté and the Breisgau: a very light shade of yellow for the Spanish Habsburgs, a darker shade for the Austrians and the darkest for Württemberg. I do grant you that those colours are very close to to each other. I probably did this on purpose to show the close bonds between the Spanish and Austrian Habsburgs.
