There are still some errors on the map; at least the following ones I found:

1. the Duchy of Lorraine did not include all of present-day Lorraine; the Bishoprics of Metz, Toul and Verdun were separate territories
2. the Viscounty of Béarn on the map includes both Lower Navarre ans Soule; but Lower Navarre, although under the same ruler with Béarn already before its union with France, was juridically a separate territory under the name of Kingdom of Navarre until 1789; Soule, as far as I know, was annexed to France separately form Béarn and Navarre
3. the Comtat Venaissin on the map seems to include the principality of Orange, which was a separate territory, although annexed to France at the same date as the Comtat Venaissin
